Farmer's Market #9: Red, White, Blue...Purple


The calm before the actual storm, which nearly blew away the tent to the right. It was July 4th and the park was hopping by 10:00 a.m. - so many people!

The veggie and fruit crops are coming in strong, but you need to get here early for Plum Hill Farm cherries.

(Riverberry Farm tomatoes - those were their berries, too)

(That's Snowfarm Vineyard's sign - I never found time to get over to the tasting)

(Adorable doggie of the day)

(Mike from Tamarack Hollow Farm)

($5 bouquets from Stray Cat Flower Farm)

(Tyler of Stony Pond Farm)

(Arethusa Collective Farm radicchio, and spring onions)


(Diggers' Mirth Collective Farm bevy of giant beets)

If you are thinking about attending market this week (Saturday the 11th), there will be an adjacent "Quad Fest Specialty Food Fair" on the other side of the fountain in City Hall Park. More market-type vendors, lots of non-food vendors, and a parade as well. Parking will be an adventure - come early, we hope to see you there!
