Photos From Opening Day November 1, 2014

The market opened at 10:00 - and the rain began at 10:05! Thank-you to everyone that came and braved the rain (and cold) to visit the market.  Terry Golson ran a great seminar on Preparing Your Chickens For Winter. The new vendors were a hit, and as usual I ate too much throughout the market!
Here are some photos from the day:
