FARMERS’ MARKET NEWS
This year’s tasting fair, on October 1, was very well-attended again despite an overcast day and the inevitable shower. All the food was sold out but not until the event was almost over, and the fair raised over $1000 for the market and another $600 for the park. Market manager Anne Freeman is buying some long market tents with those funds, because some of the farmers are willing to stay outside long the front wall (with heaters!), since that makes more room for new vendors when the market moves back in for the winter.
At the beginning of November Anne is going to a farmers’ market conference in New Orleans, where the food supply has been precarious for a while. She’ll post an account of her experiences on the market web site when she gets back.
