A message from Sarah Newman
I went to a new farmer's market on Sunday at the old mill in Florence. What a delight! Great old-time agricultural ambience, located in Florence which has the feel of a small town. For anyone missing out on the Saturday morning Old Market event, this is another produce shopping opportunity--Sundays, 11 till 3.
It was the second week for the market, and many of the handful of vendors are Asian, offering interesting Asian produce, along with other vendors selling homemade jams and baked goods. Linda Meigs, the owner and developer of the historic landmark, is taking applications at the market for new vendors (I think she said the charge is $20). She saw a doubling of vendors between the first and second weeks, and is expecting the growth to continue through the summer, so if anyone wants to get in on the ground floor of a farmer's market opportunity with their DCG produce, you should try the Old Mill in Florence.
