He’s Ready!!!

Farmers have been in the news in recent weeks. The focus of these articles are the larger concerns where the crops are planted in the hundreds (and thousands) of acres and animals number higher.

Today’s topic concerns another sort of farmer. You’ll see him now as spring moves north. (At least I hope spring arrives soon.)

You see the press urging you to buy local. Buy fresh. This is your man. The people tending a booth at your local Farmer’s Market.

Here you find a mix of fruits and vegetables (sometimes meat and cheese) shipped in from other areas of the country and those locally grown.

Farmer Joe is ready for the season!
