A Rainy, Cold, Short Beginning For the Farmers Market

The first time at anything is always a great learning experience. This morning’s Farmers Market fell right in line.

The plan is to sell the raised garden beds at the market (actually, to take orders for them). The forecast was for rain and about the time the market opened at 9 am so did the skies. By 10:30 most of the vendors had packed it in and so did we. By that time we were both pretty dang cold. I’m sure in a few weeks we won’t remember how cold this morning was and will be wishing for cooler weather.

There weren’t many market visitors and even fewer shoppers. We gave away a few brochures and got lots of “that’s a great idea” but no orders. I’m hoping the weather caused that! We’ll be back next week with much larger signs, pictures, and hopefully much better weather.
