From the pumpkin patch

Onions like jewels

Market buildings against a blue sky backdrop

Dairy case with cheese, milk, yogurt, ice cream

Free range eggs

Jams, curry, and sauces

Locally made alcohol

Garlic, rice, corn sweet as candy

Searching through sweet corn for the perfect ears

Late summer harvest

Raised by members of the Yatsugatake Ag College

This farmer's market is an extension of the Yatsugatake Central Agricultural University in Nagano prefecture. The market sells a bounty of fresh local produce from small area farmers and producers, including items that are hard to find in traditional supermarkets, like chard, free-range eggs, and locally-made cheese and yogurt. They boast about the vegetables "grown under the clear blue sky of Yatsugatake Plateau at 1300 meters." Hours are around nine a.m. to five p.m. but change slightly depending on the season.
