went for a farmer’s market visit
saw all the stuff they grew
kinders met the farmers
asked them questions
painted pumpkins
filled their bags
soap maker
vegetable growers
fruit lady
flower farmers
pumpkin man
beekeeper/honey maker
bakers
artists
fairy treasures
candy
one showed us
the special black dirt
he grows things in
it is like magic.
tomorrow we cook.

the farmer has to be an optimist
or he wouldn’t still be a farmer.

I didn't have my glasses on.... 
Wonderful experience for your kinders Beth – actually for anyone/ Too often we forget where our food comes from and what it tastes like fresh from the field.

I’m no good at farmer’s markets. I can’t even tell which farmers are ripe.

just poke them gently and if they’re soft, they’re ready.

Sounds like the kinders had a grand time at the farmer’s market. I loved going to one near us in Syracuse, New York.
Beth … I love Will Rogers’s quote. For a farmer to plop a seed in the ground in spring and expect a bountiful harvest at summer’s end … that is truly the definition of an optimist. 😉

Our city has a large Farmer’s Market, and, strolling past the stalls, I feel like I’m taking part in a centuries-old tradition that many of my ancestors enjoyed.
