Support your local farmers' market

Posted on Jun 25th, 2008 by Debi : Mother and More Debi

Just a reminder to everyone out there who lives ANYWHERE where there is ANY available local produce to go there, buy some, hang out, create community, and SUPPORT IT however you can. Our neighborhood market on Wednesday evenings can currently boast the following:

  • Three farm stands
  • Monthly (sometimes more often) live music
  • An adjacent playlot for the kids
  • Space for picnics
  • A bimonthly knitting circle
  • Weekly informal potlucks of the neighborhood elementary school's families
What it cannot boast so far :
  • Financial success for the farmers
If we want this market to succeed, we have to keep buying things there. The same goes for your local markets!
