The Full Parking Lot Says It All |
Yesterday was the official opening of the 2012 Rock Hill Farmers Market,
and saying it was successful would be an under statement. The parking
lot was filled to capacity, patrons were treated to a wonderful array of
tasty, healthy, organic food and beverage products (including wine and
hard cider), and there seemed to be something there for everyone as the
new location took on the feel of a mini festival, a Farmers Market taken
to the next level.
I came home with some serious yummies in my short visit there...amazing
how a serious sun burn sends you back home for much needed rest. My own
favorite vendor would come down to A) Tonjes Farm Dairy who makes some
wickedly tasty organic yogurts....the Wild Blackberry and Raspberry are
ummm ummm good if I do say so myself, and B) artist and musician
Deborah Anne Fisher...I picked up two really nice canvas pieces of hers
that I will frame and hang up somewhere in my apartment.
There was live music under a K-D canopy, and cannot wait till the new
gazebo is on site. There were homemade organic soaps, fresh raised
organic meats and treats, even pony rides for the kids. They say one
picture is worth a 1,000 words, so rather than keep typing, let me share
a few photographs of the grand opening event. Make sure you visit
every Saturday...it is a great way to support our LOCAL FARMERS.

nice
ReplyDeleteThe re-location of the Market was a great choice. I got some fresh chicken for my Fathers Day BBQ which came out great! It is even nicer to see a younger generation step up and take charge of what go's on in their community... Rock Hill ROCKS!!!!!!
