Just had to try one of those local farm markets today, what a great way to get to know the town and townspeople! Quite a few vendors at the Danville, VT farm market today...Jasper Hill cheese (delicious!, Gourmet Gardens, Palm Cottage North (fiber artist--that's what I'd like to become in my retirement, a fiber artist) Dye your own wool, rug hooking, punch needle hooking and rug crafts...there's something about being in the countryside of Vermont that brings out the crafter in me. It could be because I've seen the crafts of the local people, which are fabulous, and it just makes you want to set your hand to making something! I saw an elderly gentleman with oxygen hose attached, knitting socks, he makes sweaters, too. Saw all kinds of different sorts of vegetables--purple broccoli, golden yellow cauliflower..it all looked wonderful--much of it was certified organic..we talked for a long time to a lady with a produce stand about traveling in Alaska, she lived there for 19 years, I think she said. We bought some of the most beautiful tomatoes from yet another stand and a little 6 year old girl was helping her mother AND making correct change as well! As one customer said, "You go, girl!" There was an entertainer, a man who was singing wonderful songs and they seemed to be his own writings...delightful, breezy day at the farm market in the center of town. Home again, home again, jiggedy jig....
