FARMERS MARKET

Caleb's 650 tomato plants are bearing fruit so this morning the farmers market was awash in beer flats filled with round red balls. Everyone has been waiting since last season to get their fill of fresh tomatoes from the garden so traffic was brisk around the flat bed where he had them laid out for sale. He also had many varieties of sqash, potatoes, onions, beets and huge green peppers perfect for stuffing.

Other stands had bierocks, pies of all varieties, brownies and other sweets, cinnamon rolls both iced and plain (she makes those for me), and hand-crafted items.

They were selling 4-H raffle tickets and I bought a couple of sure winners!

If you haven't been to the market yet this summer, try to stop by on Saturday morning, the earlier the better, to load in a supply of fresh veggies. It's a wonderful thing for our community to have the market so give them all the support that you can.
