Customers who are our bread and butter
Our CSAs have replaced the farm loan we used to get every year and we are very appreciative for these clients. But, our most cherished clients are the ones that come every week or almost every week to the market year after year, thwy are our bread and butter--Daniel and I have literally watched these folks grow in many ways through the years, grow from a child to a young adult, get married, retire, illness and happiness, on and on.
We may get a bit cranky on some days do to other events a bad customer, a rough day before so on, but we rely like seeing many of the same people week after week, we have found our old spark again that was with us when we first started years ago--that is, the excitement of farming and selling is anew again.
Over the years markets have been taken over by purchasers and the farmers have been coming less and less--we kept our ethics and love of the land(when I hold a hand full of soil I am holding life itself, it needs to be cared for and nurtured to share herself with us--produce properly). I would say our loyal customers is in the top two reasons we kept going--thank all of you for that!
If we are rude from time to time don't take offense, come on back and when their is not a lot of customers around lets talk a while.
God bless!
