Gage, Emily and I decided to sell our goods at the farmers market this past weekend. Despite the sweltering heat, we had good sales and a great time!
Gage and Emily, set up and ready to sell at 7 am! (And let me tell you, it is no small feat to get a family organized and into town by 7 am on a Saturday! Good thing ONE of us is a morning person ...)
Ready for customers! We sold red and white potatoes, red onions, cucumbers, zucchini and yellow squash, and a small amount of cherry tomatoes.
Thankfully, most of the locavores were also out early, and by 10:00 am, here is what our table looked like. We left with only a few potatoes, squash and cucs. We were pleased to discover that we made more money than we expected! In a few weeks, we will have earned enough from our "farm products" to buy a shade for our booth. And we are already planning what to plant more of next year - FUN!
Mr. dramatic there seemed to think it was hot. And no, that isn't sweat ... Gage and Emily took a few jaunts over to Island Park to play in the new playground mister. Nice to have the playground right nearby.
The few days leading up to the market were spent picking, cleaning and sorting produce.
Cucumbers, cucumbers, cucumbers!
Getting set up was a lot of fun , but a lot of work! Next week should be easier (and hopefully COOLER!)
