Last weekend was the first farmer's market of the season, and it was so much fun. It feels great to be back, right where we belong, between the community gardens and Kretsinger Grassfed Beef, sharing a booth with our good friend Melinda, of Green Frog Juice. Melinda, by the way, makes the most amazing juices and smoothies you will ever have. Seriously. I'm not exaggerating.
Though the majority of our produce is sold through the CSA, the market is a great way to share what we do with the community and hang out with some awesome people. I did not go to the market the last couple of years, and had forgotten how much fun it is.
Though it is still early season for us, and we did not harvest much, our table looked beautiful! We brought some of our lettuce and basil boxes, and Melissa made the most adorable sign in the world. Again, I'm not exaggerating. It's that great.
The farm kids played with other market kids most of the morning, while the farm babies mostly hung out on us, sleeping and taking everything in. Utah, of course, made a run for it several times.
The first market is always a little slow, but even so we nearly sold out.
River spent some time hanging out with Seanna, who stopped by for a while. I could not resist these two healthy, radiant girls in sunhats...too sweet.
We had a great CSA pick-up yesterday, and tomorrow we harvest for market again! In between harvests and markets we work to keep the weeds at bay and replant whatever we can. We have a very short season in our high valley home, but we get the most out of it that we can, while we can.
