I remember thinking to myself that this was going to be a walk in the park! <br />Our next farmers' market, our entire stall was blown over backwards, throwing all our produce onto the ground and ruining almost everything. It was humiliating and humbling at the same time and I forced myself to go back if only to regain some self respect. Good luck next week :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-37313334632957833942012-06-17T12:27:49.890-04:002012-06-17T12:27:49.890-04:00I just discovered your blog thru my daughter.

BUT we got two new milk customers. i have no intention to ever go back, but nick is already making plans (including a tent) for next friday. the man is unstoppable, no matter how hard i try to be an obstacle :)katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049595707161522917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6281069965301856533.post-8202326863102959622012-06-10T07:21:48.438-04:002012-06-10T07:21:48.438-04:00Do those strawberries taste as good as they look? ...Do those strawberries taste as good as they look?
