Another great market - plenty of new faces, and of course our wonderful regular weekly shoppers. Annie Cronin's seminar on Gluten-Free foods was extremely informative.  We also had Kenny from the Lowell Humane Society pay us a visit - what an adorable and friendly dog.  Here are some photos from the market:

The snow definitely did not keep the shoppers away! We had the nicest thing happen at our market on Saturday.  A customer purchasing Patriots cookies from La Bella Dolce Bakery paid for her cookies, and then paid a second time, and said to 'pay it forward' for the next customer.  That's not the end of the story - the bakery owner Carmela said that the next three or four customers that bought Patriots cookies did the exact same thing! How great is that?

Shoppers were ready to come out in the freezing cold to shop on Saturday - it must have been a result of cabin fever from the prior couple of snowy days that brought everyone out.  Our new vendor Calcutta Curry was a big hit - she sold out of her delicious Chicken Curry by 1:00.
