This past Saturday we kicked off the summer at Wagner Farm with two of our most popular programs, summer strolls and the Glenview Farmers Market. The strolls were volunteer Robin Forde's idea a couple years ago to add docents to the Saturday programming on the farm. Different volunteers man stations from the chicken coop to some of the equipment and tell the visitors interested facts about whatever it is they are looking at. To go along with this we also have interpreters on the farm doing activities that would have been common on a 1920's farm.
The Farmers Market begins it's third year at Wagner Farm. Three years ago our opening day drew in 46 people. This year we had 1,127 with 19 vendors, a community booth, live music and the Village of Glenview sponsored Green Table. My favorite thing is still the what makes the market great, the food. This week I bought a bag full of the best blue berries I have ever eaten. You can't beat fresh from the farm!
