Hastings Farmer’s Market

June 24th, 2017

Saturday – June 3, 2017

Drew asked us to work at his Farm Eats booth at the Hastings Farmer’s Market today!  Han usually works at the market on Saturdays but she was busy taking SAT exams.  Jeff dressed up for the occasion in his gentleman farmer’s hat and bow-tie.

We met Drew at seven o’clock in the morning behind Hastings’ municipal building and we helped him set up the booth.  Then he went off to work at the New Rochelle market and we waited for the crowds of healthy food buyers.

The day began with a cool wind and light showers but later became warm and sunny.  We actually had a fun (but tiring!) day manning the booth, talking to people, selling grass-fed beef, walking around the market, and enjoying live country music. Today was the opening day of the summer season and the market had a festive atmosphere. 

Farmer’s markets are becoming more popular in our region much to our benefit.  They offer fresh organic fruits & vegetables, and healthy meats from local farmers and ranchers.  At the Hastings market, people were selling pickles, cookies, cakes, coffee, fresh fish, bread, pastries, prepared food, and pizza.

Jeff and I enjoyed our time at the Farmer’s Market!  Afterwards we all went to the city to celebrate Chris’ 50th Birthday at Hangawi Korean restaurant on 32nd Street.  What a wonderful feast and a great celebration!!
