First Farmers Market

On Wednesday we made it to our first Farmers Market (we only missed the first week).  We didn’t have a whole lot to sell, but we figured if we started going while it is still slow, we could ease into it.  The kale, lettuce and eggs we brought sold quickly, and we were able to sell more starts than we’d expected.  It was great to finally meet the market manager we’ve been corresponding with via e-mail for over a year!   She, and the vendors we met, were so friendly and welcoming.  Matt was right at home, socializing and making friends right off the bat.  It took me a bit to feel comfortable - not being one of the great social butterflies of the world - but it was easy to relax with all the positive feedback (... as many other freshman farmers have attested!)  Before next week, we hope to have finished our ‘farm name’ banner for the booth.

This week, we also did our first check-up on the bee hives, planted some heirloom “San Francisco Fog” tomatoes that are supposed to do well in our cool coastal summers, and continued with the routine seeding, weeding and chores.
