Day at the Farmer's Market

6:15 a.m. rolled around pretty early this morning when we left to go to the farmer's market at Hope. The farmer's market is fairly new for Hope, just starting this year, and they are open every Tuesday from 7a.m. to 11a.m. It was our first time to go and we sold a lot of vegetables, almost everything that we had brought. We made some good contacts and look forward to coming back!

This week we had tomatoes, okra, squash, and cucumbers. Into the fall we hope to have some more green beans, broccoli, sweet potatoes, and maybe some cantaloupe.


It was a joy to meet the Tyson family from Ashdown. They run a beekeeping business and sell bees, honey, soaps, and lip balm. http://tysonhoneyfarm.webs.com/ 

John brought some of his hand carved wooden spoons to sell.


Jacob grew some broom corn again this year. Great for fall decorations.
