When I think of summer, I think of farmer's market: fresh tomatoes, sweet corn, peaches, melons, beans, bread, honey, eggs, and many other good things to eat. Even better than the good food is the opportunity to say hello to people who live locally, and to pass the time of day for a few minutes in a happy family friendly atmosphere. You can also find beautiful plants, flowers, and hand crafted soap. Sometimes you can learn the best way to preserve or to cook an abundance of vegetables. People are always talking about my favorite subject, food.
There are lots of good reasons to shop your local Farmers’ Market, including the fact that it’s good for the environment and the local community. I have more personal reasons for shopping there…
The Farmer’s House Market just opened in April of 2012, and the word is slowly getting out about the quaint country-type store. It resides in what was formerly known as Vaughn’s Country Store located on Hwy. 273 on the way to Weston. The store was part of the Vaughn Farm, which had been worked by five generations of family. With the retirement of the Vaughn family from farming, The Farmer's House initiative was born.
