Downtown on the farm

There's a new farmer's market in town. It's only about 7 weeks old, or so I'm told. We went there the first time two weeks ago, and then again last Saturday. The guy in charge says that the booth spaces are free, but I don't know if there are any other kind of requirements. Bet it would be easy enough to find out.



It's at Lincoln University's agricultural research area on the end of Chestnut Street, lots of nice shade trees to park under, and walk around under, while you browse. And they have live music! Not many other farmers' markets can claim that!

It's on Saturday mornings from 8 AM to noon. You should go. And, since they have lots of space left, if you grow your own produce, or bake, or do other neat stuff like that, you should probably get yourself a booth and set up for business.

I told Harold maybe he could take some of his garden stuff. They have a huge garden made up of little plots where they grow all kinds of produce. He said maybe we should just go early and pick theirs, set up our booth, and put up a sign that says: "Locally grown. More locally than you know!"

We really wouldn't do that, but it sounded like a good idea at the time.


Anyway, here are a few pics of the goodies you might see. See the big, round loaf of honey mustard oatmeal bread? And that little granddaughter-sized cherry pie? They were both yummy!
