HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SWEET KARLEE!
I’m excited for my first Farmers Market today! Both for the people I will see AND the new venue a refurbished food snack bar from the former Albert City football field! Refurbished and moved specifically to be used for Tom’s weekly summer Farmers Markets! (Side note: Tom was awarded the 2024 Albert City Citizen of the Year just a few weeks ago at the towns centennial celebration! An award well deserved!)
My early morning chores included weighing one pound bags of beans, peas, radishes. Well I always aim to be flexible and this morning that was the case as Tom woke early and did what I “thought” were my chores! Instead I did a couple hours of mowing with the Kubota tractor mower. Could be I get fired from that if my mowing rows aren’t straight enough! Haha! Several more hours of mowing to perfect my mowing skills! Hope to continue after market today. (Which I did an hour before supper and another couple after supper up until sunset! Tom joined me with the Zipper mower!)
11:15a - First load taken to the new market site: potatoes, garlic, onions (red, white, yellow), zucchini,
2:40p - Final run of produce and setup for Market: cucumbers, radishes, beets, kale,
First item to sell out 40 beets! 35 sold to one individual! Apparently they have a really good recipe for pickled beets!
I’m tired but it was a great day! Not enough sweet corn for the market today but there was enough for Tom,Joni and I to enjoy last night and again tonight! Young sweet corn!
