More Pics from Waynesburg




Here are a few more pictures from the Waynesburg Farmers' Market yesterday. The market, like most of the markets around here, is a "producer only" market. The vendors only sell what they grow or produce from materials on their own farm. In the case of food products, they are produced by the vendor who brings them to market, usually in the vendor's own state certified kitchen.
HINT: For those of you looking for farmers' markets, be aware that sometimes you will see vendors set up near a market on market day, but not in the market proper. There are those who will take advantage of the "following" culivated by the market and set up nearby on market days to attract some of the patrons. They do not contribute to the work of organizing the market and in some instances they are not selling in season produce that they've raised themselves. The choice is up to you, but I go to the vendors who've been there at the market week after week, rain or shine.
