What an amazing market! I ran into one of my 8th grade students, James who is now starting his sophomore year at UGA. Apparently we were making rosemary rolls when I taught him! Both James and his friend bought some today, of course at a “student” discount!
Our Jones family came out and supported us, too!! Pre-planning starts this week!!
And two of our sweet customers, The Hawkins’ stopped by and brought us a homemade dinner (amazing lasagna!!) which was perfect timing as Paul hurt his back yesterday and today was a full day for all of us. They also came with gifts for Sage as she starts her entrepreneurial journey!
And this is just a few of the people who loved on us this evening. We are so blessed and so grateful for this wonderful community that supports us and nurtures and feeds us, probably as much or more than we do them!!
Just about ready for the City of Auburn, GA Farmers Market this evening from 4-7pm.
We plan to be there rain or shine! Lots of fresh veggies, herbs, flowers, and fresh rolls! City of Auburn Ga Rants,Raves,Reviews and News
