Good Beginning

The Farmer's Market in Sable River opened this morning, it appears successfully.










At Decker's Esso, there was a selection of wood products (lighthouses, trellises, chairs etc.), plants, crafts, vegetables and meat from the Valley, baking, beauty products (natural), and homemade pasta. We purchased some lamb chops, sliced ham (delicious - had some for lunch), beet fettuccine (very nice red colour) and a forsythia bush to keep the one we have company (we were told they grow better in pairs - cross-pollination or something).

At the Irving, the items were more of the flea market type. Dana from Video Focus had a rack of used DVD's for sale - that was the most interesting display as far as I was concerned. The Sable River Baptist Church had a fund-raising table where I bought 4 chocolate cupcakes. Sherm was on hand handing out brochures about the Sable River trail system.

The Chef's Table had donated a large urn of soup which Cindy and Alice were ladling out to all as a treat.

Overall, there was a good turnout, both of vendors and customers. Hopefully, it wasn't just the novelty which brought people out and the Market will have continued success for the rest of the summer.
