I got so busy with the school tours this month that I fell behind with mentioning a few things that were going on at the Farm. On October 9th we had the last of the 16 week farmers market Saturdays. This year proved to be our best yet in many ways. Attendance wise we ended at 23,054 which was the best finish in the markets 23 year history. Another aspect that was really nice was that we only had rain for two of the 16 days. Of course we did have one day of heavy winds that wrecked a lot of the tents.
I think that the farmers market is a lot like any other event. Unless you actually work it you really don't know how much time goes into the day. I would like to thank Roxanne Junge and Karen Diener for the numerous hours that they have spent to make the market what it is. Along with Roxanne and Karen there a many volunteers that give of their time to help keep the operation running smoothly.
Next year will just not be the same as we will be without Karen who hung up her farmers market hat. We will all miss you - thanks for everything friend.
