Another Short Market
Posted to Weather category
The weather was gorgeous today, if occasionally breezy, and the Farmers' Market was very crowded. It was nearly 9 o'clock before we got signs on the veggie bins because we were too buy selling, and by then we were already sold out of chard and spinach, and didn't need all of the signs.
I think we are getting spoiled. This is the third week in a row that we sold out of fresh produce well before the official end of market. We packed up the truck at 12:30 and I took Nanette home to the farm. where we had a cup of tea and a chat.
After 2, when the road used for the market reopens, I drove her back to the market so she could drive the truck home.
Next week we are going to bring our tarot decks, in case we run out of things to sell before the last customers with preorders arrive to pick up their veggies. (This week we were down to a few bunches of onions, one bunch of beet greens and the dried herbs and chiles before the last preorder.) We'll set up on an empty table at the back of the booth while we wait.
