Sunshine on Opening Day!

This past Saturday was the opening of the sixth season at the Arlington Farmers' Market!

It was gorgeous weather, but our market stayed nice and cool in the grass of Legion Park.

We think this walk should be renamed Farmers' Market Way; what do you think?

The kids loved the bouncy house, and it looked like parents loved shopping in peace.

Attendance by you lovely market supporters was almost double the count for last year -- thank you for coming out to support your local food system! Our vendors went home happy. :)

Next week, the Street Fair will be held all up and down Olympic Avenue. You'll find the farmers' market vendors out in the street right in front of our home at Legion Park. See you there!
