People's Farmers Market

I chose to pick up my CSA share from Gee Creek Farm at Peoples this year instead of the huge downtown market because it's convenient to stop by after work. So glad I made this choice, because it's a wonderful experience just being there, and handy to stop in the store and pick up bulk items I need. Feels like stepping back in time and gives me hope for the future seeing young people committed to the values some of us old fogies have retained. Last Wednesday, the farmers were out in record heat and there was a big jug of iced lemonade, a water drip for cooling, and lovely music. Maybe not as many shoppers as usual, but obvious that the heat wasn't keeping a loyal core away. Count me among them from now on.
