OUR RETURN TO FARMERS’ MARKETS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoA4vxWZL_IAs I say in the above video, we’ve been out of the farmers’ market game for a little over a year. With it just being Hannah and I last year, we decided it would be better (i.e. saner) for us to focus on the CSA and on a few restaurants to reduce the amount of time we had to spend off farm.And for the most part, this was a successful approach. However, this year we have two excellent interns who have helped keep the garden in such good shape that we’ve been able to beef up production enough (“beef up” being amusing term on a vegetable farm), to handle a small farmers market.So we’re excited. We’re excited about being able to cater to lower income individuals as we will be doing with Spark Community Cafe soon (like end of summer soon!), and excited about doing some one on one sales again.Much of the last decade of my life was spent behind a counter slinging bottles of wine, or behind a market booth slinging vegetables (proverbially), so I gotta say, I kinda miss it.
Will keep you all updated but please come see us when you get a chance! Fresh, organic veggies from your favorite farmers (or at least on your top 1000!?)!
Southland Drive, Lexington Farmer’s Market, 10-2, every Sunday!
