Pearl Farmers Market

Pearl FM just started and, as a result, is still working out the glitches. The lack of pasture eggs and poultry is surprising. The grass-fed beef and local goat and lamb are wonderful. The baked goods, while not sold by a farmer, are made by local people and are pretty darned tasty. The stalls are indeed too close together. I presume that the organizers know this and they're working on a solution - how could they miss the fact that people can't find room to wait in line! I'll still have to find my pasture chicken and eggs from other sources. I wish there were more organics at the Pearl FM. And why is no one selling locally made cheese? So Pearl FM is not perfect. But it's filling an obvious need in the center of town. If attendance remains high, more farmers will come. If the organizers do their job, they'll seek out more local folks who use organic practices. I'm going to keep going, spending money, and looking for the improvements.
