At the Farm Market

While we were in Ohio, we wanted to buy some pure maple syrup to take back to Mexico.  We could have bought maple syrup in any supermarket, but we decided to drive to the Cuyahoga Valley and go to Szalay's Farm Market.

Szalay's began in 1931 as a roadside stand selling sweet corn, and expanded over the years into one of the largest farmers' markets in northeast Ohio.

There were still wagons full of sweet corn, probably some of the last of the season.

This time of year, the star of the show are the pumpkins... large, small, and even painted decorative ones.

Inside the barn there is a large market selling fruits and vegetables, baked goods, and, yes, Ohio maple syrup.  We also bought a jar of strawberry rhubarb spread, and a small strawberry rhubarb pie to eat back at the hotel.
