That's the big challenge of a farmers market: get people (consumers) there.
On Bozeman's Wednesday Farmers Market at Bogert Park, they've got it figured out. The market isn't just for shopping - it's a community experience. They bring in performers - yesterday there was a celtic duo and an orchestra on separate stages; they have food vendors with hot dogs and ice cream; the playground and water park are filled with families. And the best part - they go home with their reusable bags filled with farm-fresh food.
Last night's market was no exception. Added bonus: the weather was immaculate. We sold out of everything bagged - spinach, spicy salad mix, lettuce mix, arugula, cilantro, chard and dill and had a few head lettuces and mustard greens left over.

It was a great ending to a long day of picking, cleaning and packing that we wrapped up only minutes before we needed to hit the road.
