Thanks Jess and Reetsyburger. Looking forward to next time already. Thanks for the nice words. Reetsyburger, I hope you're happy in your new place. Congratulations!
Hi Lee -- Remember me? Hi to Laura and your kids. My farm share is from Riverbend, which is how I got to your link. What are you up to now? Sounds like you're into sustainable agriculture (in addition, still, to being a musician and techie??).
What a pity that our wonderful little farmers' market, the Midtown Farmers' Market, www.midtownfarmersmarket.org, at Lake and Hiawatha, gets such short shrift in discussions like this. St Paul has a venerable history, and many fine vendors; Minneapolis is a great market when you know how to shop it, and a spectacle. Mill City has its place, too, but Midtown has a longer tenure--now in its seventh year--all local goods, including naturally and organically raised produce, natural and grass-fed meats, great access (via bus, light rail, bike, car) and ample free parking, and a vibrant, diverse, and progressive neighborhood atmosphere. You can argue the live-long day about the merits of local-only vs. imported produce at our markets, but let's remember while we do that there are well more than just three worthy markets in town (not neglecting Kingfield, Richfield, Northeast, etc....).
Cheers~ Brett
Thanks for the reminder, Mpls Farmers Market! I'm wiling to bet that the coops are fennel-rich this week, too. Go forth, Minneapolitans, and eat more local fennel. :-)
Thanks Greg, I'd be honored to have a link - thank you! I've also got more pictures if you're interested. And for the record, I didn't wash the veggies when I got them home - we all washed them in those big tubs on your farm. Hope I get to see you again soon, maybe 7/26?
Thanks Jess and Reetsyburger.
