Fresh Melons At Beaver Farmers' Market!

Filling The Melon Bin!
The customers were just waiting for all of the melons to be put out before they jumped in to select the perfect specimen to take home!   They looked delicious and this farmer had a cut sample to show off.
Fragrant Cantaloupes!
Once again, LFLF came home with a half dozen ears of sweet corn, plus some apples, onions, & a head of cabbage ...... looking forward to some cabbage & noodles!

Plump Ears of Sweetcorn!

Last Saturday At Market!

Customers At Douds-Floyd Farm
Last Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day at the Beaver Farmers' Market!  The weather was perfect & at this time of year the selection of veggies, fruit, & flowers is wonderful. 
Beaver Farmers' Market Shoppers
LFLF came home with green peppers, plums, buffalo chip cookies, cucumbers, onions, & sweet corn.

These Plums Are Delicious!
You never know who you'll see at the market ..... another supporter of local agriculture, of course (!), is Pennsylvania State Senator Elder Vogel Jr., talking here with Mr. McElhaney of McElhaney Family Farm.  This is the 1st year for the farm at the Beaver Farmers' Market ... they've been raising Shorthorn beef cattle & selling quality dry-aged beef for decades from their farm in Hookstown, PA.
