Last winter market is done today. Things went well, boy was I sick, lost my voice the last half hour and sounded like death warmed over (what ever that phrase means?)  My small world moment was finding out that the one of the owners of the UNCOMMON Market in Montplier used to own my house and now I think I am going to sell them some vegetables this summer. Thanks to Princess the cheese maker for the barter today. Great cheese and I am enjoying it with some pinot noir. I think wine is supposed to help with a chest cold?

Thanks to Ruth and Lee it was fun sharing a stand with you the last 3 markets. Things went well and I was able to make some new friends. Once again proving that farmers are a nicer class of people. At least the ones I keep meeting here in Central Vermont.  Lastly I want to thank my customers, some of you were fanatical and very regular in your need for good salad. What a nice validation of all my hard work. It will keep me farming well into the summer. Already thinking about how to improve next winter. Soup bases anyone? Complete with recipes and a "hotline" to the chef/farmer for help. Well gotta go watch some "bubble gum for the mind" and try and convalesce. Need to start working my fields tomorrow before the rain comes. We need the rain.
