September 18 Market

 Fall is upon us, but you wouldn't know it from weather conditions at market today. Sunny, breezy and warm. Trees have not started to turn yet. Market was very busy with local and out-of-state visitors. Here's some pics of the action. Enjoy.

Brattleboro Farmers Market August 21, 2021

Arriving back at Market, after a year-and-a-half absence, I took note of the changes to the site setup since last I sold my coffee and cookies by the big tree. Food vendors now occupy a separate and apart area of the Market, in full sunlight. It’s very hot there under the canopies that serve as broilers.
I would guess the new arrangement is a vestige of covid inspired safety measures. Seems kind of silly to keep those measures in place now, but there you have it.
At least one of my food vendor compatriots has expressed displeasure at the new setup, and wishes to return to the classic Market circle, with farm, food, and craft vendors interspersed throughout. Hopefully that return to the original look of Market can happen soon. Meanwhile, I have composed a series of photos from 2018-19, the last normal years, to illustrate how the place looked back then. Enjoy. Rara

Hinsdale Market 7.11.21

 

Rather cool day, partly sunny. We had a good sized crowd of browsers. This market is a very friendly place, with most visitors and vendors being well acquainted, if not related. They all make me feel very much at home here.

There was a nasty fire in town this week that left several families homeless. Someone set up a booth to collect donations for the affected families. This really is a close community. RS

A new booth this week sold empanadas and cookies. Very popular

Bottle top gal is still at it...

adding Easter Eggs and...

hanging decorations to the mix

Words to live by, eh?

These folks make many varieties of jams and jellies

Theresa sold out of her swell farm produce

Even crocheted keychains. Very bright.
