4-H "Farmers' Market" At Old Economy Village!

Economy 4-H With Fresh Veggies & Baked Goods
LFLF spent some time Saturday afternoon at a local historical site, Old Economy Village, celebrating Erntefest.   This annual 2 day harvest festival features demonstrations such as cider pressing, broom making, outdoor oven bread baking, and candle dipping.   It's a great family event.  As a bonus for us, we heard that there would be a local 4-H group there with a small farmers' market, so we looked them up.
Squash & Beets Going Fast At Erntefest!
 We got some carrots & a spaghetti squash to bring home .... these little carrots are so tender!  As a bonus, we fed the carrot tops to our donkey & she just munched them down.    :)
Here are a couple of pictures that we were able to squeeze in without people walking by ......
