Mount Carroll vendors
On a beautiful Saturday morning, May 2, the Mt. Carroll vendors gather together after the successful opening of the 2009 season of the farmers’ market. They were all pleased with the size of the crowd, the number of folks buying things, but they were especially happy to hear, “See you next week.” as folks left with their purchases.
A little early for a big variety, but Sharon Peugh had some jams, jellies and black walnuts from last year. The town’s prize baker, Cheryl Cole, was there with a variety of baked goods and different fudges. The mushroom man, Richard Fortner, with his shitake mushrooms, both fresh and dried, was back. The highlight of the market was two vendors who had a variety of bedding plants, both vegetables and perennial flowers, all started from seed or divisions.
The vendors and their earlybird customers are looking forward to a year of eating local and enjoying the camaraderie of people who share the same food philosophy.
