Not much else describes the beauty other than photos, so I will share the few I captured along the way this morning. You really MUST attend, however, to appreciate the colors, scents and sounds on Court Avenue.
Musts for the Market:
- Invite good friends
- Do-Si-Do while listening to a live band and eating a breakfast burrito
- Wear a flowy skirt
- Buy lots of fresh produce and exclaim loudly how it will nourish your body
- Try lots of samples; never double dip
- Scamper sideways whenever possible
- Ohh and Ahh over every puppy and baby in a stroller (yes, puppies in strollers, too)
- Ask to take photos of people in silly hats
- Tell the stranger behind you that you want an apron
- Give high fives to vendors who sell out before market closing time
- Take the Pledge to Buy Fresh Buy Local

My sister just sent me the link to your blog. I love finding others with a passion for local foods. Great post, though I'm a little embarrassed to find myself a feature on it...yes, its true, I'm the nut in the chicken hat.
Ah well, if one is going to entertain oneself, one shouldn't be surprised when occasionally one entertains others : )
Hi, I came here from Jill's blog :) I wanted to ask about the picture of the farmers market prints (flower/guitar/pear). Do you happen to know if those are available for purchase somewhere? Thanks!
Ha! Jill you and the Chicken Hat are beyond famous! what a lovely blog, so glad to find it!
Sugarcreek farm, I believe the Downtown Market Staff has those for sale, I'd inquire at the information booth located at 3rd and court while the market runs. :)
