Last Week’s Highlights

Last week's produce selection did not disappoint!  We had several varieties of squash, peppers, tomatoes, kale, grapes, carrots, and many other fruits and veggies.
















Fred was there with his popular worm bins, helping our market customers learn how to compost at home.


















And Holly's hand-made aprons made an eye-catching sight.  The market is also a great place to pick up some plant starts for your own patio or backyard garden!

Most of our baked-goods vendors were on vacation last Saturday, so we were thrilled that  Dana was there with her brownies and other treats.  I have had the pleasure of tasting her Plum Coffee Cake: a moist cake with just a hint of spice, and slices of sweet, juicy plums hidden inside.  Very delicious.  Thank you Dana!

We also had our awesome “Kid’s Korner” with fun activities for the kids, and a survey contest!  A great Saturday!

 























Free Snickerdoodles Anyone?

Back by popular demand, Holley Lamont brought another batch of her fresh homemade snickerdoodles, the coveted prize for the survey contest.  Market customers just had to fill out a quick survey about their farmers’ market experience to receive a ticket for the prize drawing.  We love awarding prizes to our fabulous market friends!  And thank you to Holley, our assistant market manager for providing them.

Pies Galore!

This Saturday, in addition to our wonderful produce, baked goods, and craft vendors, we will be hosting a pie contest!

Drop off your favorite pie by 8:00 am, for a chance to win the grand prize: a basket of items from all the different market vendors (the last time the vendors put together an incredible basket, and I was dying to take it home).
And you know what they say: “Those who can’t bake, taste.”  That’s right—all our market customers (that means you!) get to taste each pie and vote for the winner!
So join us Saturday for shopping, fun at the Kid’s Korner, and pie!

Spotlight: Goodbye and Hello

We are all sad to say goodbye to our assistant market manager, Holley Lamont this week.  She is leaving us for Tucson to attend University of Arizona.  A 2011 graduate of our very own Globe High School, Holley has been an incredible asset to the farmer’s market, filling in for Paul the past two weeks.  A huge “thank-you” to Holley.  You will be missed!

Holley was also the editor of this newsletter, and has graciously handed the job over to me.  My name is Megan Wallace, and I’ve lived in Globe for five years.  I love the small-town life and the great feeling of community that accompanies events like our farmer’s market.  Being a vendor at the market has allowed me to meet some wonderful people, and I’m excited to be involved in the newsletter.  I hope to meet you soon!
