Market update

First, my apologies for not updating this blog a bit more often. Things have been a bit busy here.

As for the Farmers Market, according to an observation made by Uncle Ed (of Uncle Ed's herbs and flowers) we have had roughly a 20% increase in foot traffic since the Market started. Since Ed has been working Farmers markets for roughly 20 years, I thing he might know a thing or 2 about them, so I will trust his judgement on this.

A 20% increase from the start of the market, for the very first year, is quite an accomplishment. Ed said it normally takes about 3 years to see that kind of increase. So I think we muct be doing something right.

The market itself has about 6 more weeks to run, so those of you who want to experience the event, you need to stop by soon. Our last market day is October 10. AS always the market runs from 2 to 7 pm.

Let us know what you think.
