Crunch time

Sorry about the sparse posting lately, but things have been a little hectic around here. The big news today is that we are getting ready for our first farmer's market of the season on Saturday, May 22! It will be our first time at the Mad River Green Farmer's Market in Waitsfield, Vermont. Locally grown organic produce, baked goods, food to go, flowers, art, crafts, live music, 65+ vendors -- it should be a good time. (If you want to stop by and buy some of our veggies, the market is on Rte. 100 in the town of Waitsfield, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.)

We are a little nervous ourselves. We will have early crops and seedlings to sell -- salad turnips, broccoli raab, beet greens, lettuce, mustard greens, dandelion greens, etc. But since it is our first time at this particular market, it is hard to know what to expect. Will the other vendors be nice or mean? Will we get crushed by the competition or will there be plenty of customers to go around (I actually suspect the latter)? Will it rain? Will it snow (yikes!)? We shall see!!! But this market is a big step up for us, so we are excited!

Good luck at Mad River!

I'm betting the bulk of them are great people, just like the organic farmers in St. Johnsbury.

And if, by chance, they turn out to be jerks, that just means more sales for you because the customers will love your energy and enthusiasm!
