Peter in the news

Peter got his picture in the paper today.

Peter Griffin, owner of the Old Shaw Farm in Peacham, bags canteloupe for his neighbor Anne Brown, Aug. 27, at the farmer's market in Danville.

That's what the caption to the photo says. And the article has a bunch to say about the farmer's market, including this:

Peter Griffin of Peacham is a first-time vendor at the Danville market. He and his wife Maryellen own the Old Shaw Farm which produces organic vegetables.

Griffin has found being friendly and offering customers samples often brings additional sales.

"I try to grow unique things that they wouldn't find at the supermarket," he said, adding that most people are adventurous about trying new foods.
