After my family and friends browsed my website, they said I need to include a picture of myself! Let's just say being front of the camera lens is NOT one of my favorite places to be! But . . . here I am! It was a great opening day at the market!
Seems like just yesterday I was relishing in the 2011 market season winding to a close, and shazam - the 2012 market is here! Usually come the end of March I get the itch for the market to start again and this year was no different! I miss the smiles my regular customers so generously share and the good feeling I get when a new customer returns and purchases another bar of soap because they loved the way the first bar made their skin feel! It's amazing how the market has become such a big part of who I am. It has blessed me in so many ways, but mostly by the friendships it has kindled. I have learned so much about fresh produce - tried heirloom produce - shared recipes, products and stories with fellow vendors! Fresh strawberries from Schwinn Produce for some goat milk fudge today! Love love love it! Lesson learned: a bite of dark chocolate goat milk fudge and a strawberry picked less than hour ago all in the same bite is a delight for the tastebuds! I purchased my herb plants today from Joy and Bill at J&B Truck Farm! They are the best - so healthy and hearty! And Joy is so willing to share recipes using fresh herbs. I bought some tarragon today for the first time and she gave me several quick and easy uses for it. I can't wait to get them all planted and enjoy them! She makes the best pesto ever by the way! If you are in the Leavenworth area, take some time to stop by our market! I guarantee you'll find lots and lots of smiles from friendly vendors not to mention amazing local products!
