Week Two at the Sanford Farmer's Market

May 12, 2012

 Sanford Farmer's Market is the place to be on Saturday morning!

Saturday was a beautiful day. Not only was the sun shining brightly after what has seemed like two long weeks of rain, but it was a great day to stroll through Sanford's Farmer's Market in Central Park. By 8:00am shoppers were eager to find their favorite vendors and to investigate what the new vendors had bought to the market. You were sure to find something among the 14 vendors.

It was worth the stop at Stone Field Farm for homemade jams and baked goods.
