Great Barrington Farmers Market

By: suzi B. (Jun 27, 2009)
Where else can I go to sample fabulous tastings of great food made with produce I can buy within 10 paces? Where else do farmer's come together with consumers to discuss weather, soil conditions and just what to do with that huge yellow cauliflower? Where else do kids get to see the people who grow dinner for them and thank them with enthusiasm for kholrabi? How about the old ladies seeking celeriac or the pushy New Yorker hunting arugala or the sweet fruit growers who's daughters have taken over the market stand? The community who gathers at our GB market are a mixed bag of local and far flung, all supporting a fine web of activity that noursishes our bodies, the earth and our souls. Why would I shop anywhere else?
