Local-Only Market

By: Diya Evansvillian (Jul 23, 2010)
I love the "Locals Only" market at Penny Lane. I have gone each week and it continues to grow. Beautiful local vegetables and fruits, and the actual farmers who grow them, right there. It's wonderful to know who is putting food on your table and to be able to have a conversation with them. I was able to ask the farmers questions about how the items I bought were grown. How cool is that? Last year we shopped the other market and there were produce resellers on the corners who clearly shipped things in, but were telling people they were local. :-( I thought farmer's markets were for local farmers? Anyway, I like the added touch of having artists and artisans at the locals only market. It is a wonderful atmosphere and we'll continue to support it. Thank you for bringing this event to Evansville!
