With longer nights and the air getting cooler, it is truly beginning to feel like autumn. We love this time of year! October brings a change in weather and has many unique opportunities to visit farmers markets.
Fall is a wonderful time to be in the US with all the vibrant colors and tasty food. At the Harvest English Institute, we encourage our students to get out and about to explore the local area around our campuses. It’s great fun and gives you a much-needed break from your studies! Also, visiting markets and local attractions is a wonderful opportunity to practice your newly developed English language skills.
With this in mind, we have put together a list of all the farmers markets taking place this October for you to enjoy local autumn produce.
