City of Hudson Farmers Market

At least five of vendors have gone through the initial training to accept a new food benefit, WIC Vegetable and Fruit coupons.    Lots of paperwork for the farmers but certainly a worthy job if it offers people more options.

Veteran vendor Crosswinds Farm returned to the market this past Saturday....good to see Dave and Helen.  Among their offerings were lots of peppers and potatoes -- delicious!  Things are really starting to come on now!  The tables at Farm at Millers' Crossing and Red Oak Farm looked so voluptuous! 

Fourth of July!  Abby Lappen, local singer/songwriter and recording artist, sang for us throughout the market and brought a friend, Peter, on drums.  Fresh locally made goat cheese for the first time -- added to the selection of hard cheeses already available through Pampered Cow!.  We also saw this week the first small offerings of tomatoes, cucumbers, and summer squash.  David, from Churchtown Gardens, brought Chocolate Zucchini Bread along with his usual breads and foccacia.  We sold a lot of our new blue "Hudson Farmers' Market" bags, as people are really working to use renewables.  We were thankful for beautiful weather on the 4th, with NO rain.  There were lots of new customers as well as our regular favorites and we were all very busy.  Gorgeous day and a Happy Fourth!
