Well, we’ve been fortunate to attend the Charlottesville City Market for the past few weeks on a space available basis and it’s a very robust market with a long history. This past Saturday, May 7, was opening day at the South of the James farmers market (http://www.themarketumbrella.com/). It was so great to see familiar faces and meet new faces as well. I enjoyed telling our processes in lamb to Ellie’s class. This market recently changed to a producer only market and the energy at the market was at a fever pitch with excitement from the vendors and the customers who all enjoyed the local flair of products there. It’s great to be back. Wherever you live, I hope you make time to visit a local farmers market and strike up a rapport with the producers of the foods you buy for yourself and family. It’s the only way to truely know that what you are eating is so very fresh, delicious and healthy. We love going to the markets to share information with the customers about our lamb and fiber products.

If its okay with you, I’d like to take a few comments from your post and put on my blog. See you soon!
