The first farmers market was a total success; it was a great day to sell vegetables. We all woke up early in the morning to pack the trailer with tables and tents and of course vegetables. In addition to the delicious organic vegetables we sold 5 different kinds of jams; nectarine and grand marnier, quad-berry, strawberry and raspberry preserves as well as raspeberry jelly. We had some spicy sweet relish, apple butter, and some incredible organic sauerkraut for sale. Christy made two kinds of mustard, a maple mustard and a honey mustard which flew of the shelf, they were both delicious. We had tomato plants and lots of herbs including two kinds of mint. It is nice to see a small town like Walker, MN have a weekly farmers market. It is a great way for me to meet the people of Walker, MN.

If you will be in or around Walker this Thursday (June 23rd), we will be at the farmers market from 2-6pm (hopefully it isn't raining). In addition to all the things I mentioned before we will also have some baked goods. Lissa is going to make some cheesecakes, some sweet and some savory (you have not had better, she makes them with a lot of love) as well as some homemade blueberry muffins. Christy is making some loaves of focaccia bread, I am headed over there in a few minutes to learn from her. I have always wanted to learn how to make bread, so here I go...
I like the idea of the flying mustard lol. Baking bread is fun!! See you soon :)
