Opening Day at the Farmer’s Market

3 Comments »

The moment that all the lovers of fresh produce and other locally grown and produced foods has finally come. The South of the James Farmers Market is open for business today. The market is at Forest Hill Ave & 42nd Street and runs from 8 to 1. Go here to see some of the vendors. We hope to have some pictures up later. Pictures from this morning.

The place was hopping at 8:30 and more were streaming in when we left an hour later.

    Ace was the best host he could be, but finally he just wore out. Those ears are heavy to carry around. The old favorites were at the market; Blanchards, Amy’s Garden, Faith Farm, The Pie Lady. But did you taste the egg rolls the lady was selling. She gets up Saturday morning, makes 300 fresh Filippino egg rolls, and has a Vietnamese Chili dipping sauce. New market favortie (She sold out by 10:15) I also appreciate the recycling bins and the organization that had vendors in an set up early. All in all, a great opening day.

    Ace is excellent name for a basset. Didn’t try the egg rolls will give them a try next week. I went with my old standby Tex. It takes you way too long to get your food but I do enjoy talking trash with that man. It was really an impressive turnout. My vote for best new idea was the waffle cones dipped in chocolate filled with fresh fruit by Chocolates by Kelly who are sharing a tent with Blanchard’s.

    [...] I also saw many Oregon Hill neighbors- including just of a few of the neighborhood artists. Mary from China Street was there with some her hats and scarfs. She has also had good luck selling her wares at the South of the James Farmer’s Market. [...]
