To-Market Scenes from Opening Day
/Yay! It's farmer's market season, which means fresh, healthy, locally grown produce from hard-working neighbors. The growing season is running about a month behind, but tables displayed rhubarb, blueberries, potatoes, herbs, popcorn, baked goods, essential oils and flowers. So fun to see everyone. A vendor named Michelle has revived the art of tatting, and new vendor Hilltop Coffee roasts small batches of free trade, organic beans for sale. This year market manager Meggan Pasqualla has arranged for live music, too. Susan West greeted everyone with a sweet honeysuckle bouquet. Ken Swisher had a "take one" basket of non-GMO peppermint puffs. I purchased eggs (from Crossroads Farm,) and potatoes and one of Diane Conroy's raspberry and white chocolate scones for tomorrow's breakfast. Mmm, mmm.
