This is the second year of the farmer’s market at the Hope Artiste Village. I must say that I have enjoyed working my booth at the Hope Artiste Village Artist Co-op. Besides being able to get wonderful eggs, meat and fresh yummy veggies I have truly enjoyed the people.

There is music and fresh food. The mood amongst the community is bright and friendly. I have seen more of my friends while working at the market selling my gift collection to the public than if I tried to catch up with them individually. Also I am meeting new people. People that never knew I existed, ( if you can imagine that? ).

I welcome all foodies to come and try what has become the Saturday afternoon ritual. Bring a friend and a smile. Come hungry and explore. See what all the fuss is about and help support our local farmers as they work so hard to grow great food for us. Support your neighbors. Do yourself a favor and get out of your winter cave. Stop by and say “Hi”.
