yesterday was the third lansdale farmer's market. this is so close to my heart because we have seen this market go from a meeting of four people in our living room with a vision to an actual market! all those months ago i could've never imagined how truly great it turned out to be.
yesterday bill and i started by riding our bikes to the market at seven. the weather could not have been more perfect, sunny with a light breeze. there were already vendors setting up and lots of volunteers on hand to help them when we arrived. you could already start to smell the fresh herbs, produce and baked good. there is a genuine sense of community from the vendors, to volunteers and to all the shoppers. at nine am the market officially opens. out of all the wonderful stuff that happens at a farmer's market, the thing i love the most is really supporting the local farmers and their work. letting them know that we are committed to helping our local farmers is so important. this summer is a great time to search out your local farmers, you willmost likely find better much betterproduce. every dollar you spend is changing the way food is produced in our nation....its so powerful!
