August 22, 2015. Farmers' market, fun, and fun!

LOCATION:  Organic farm outside of Ukiah, California, in NW part of state
WEATHER:  Very nice. Highs around 90

The alarm woke us up at 6:00 AM.  We rushed around to wash and spin-dry the salad mix and to load the car for market day.  We set up around 8:00, then the people started coming.  We did pretty well, selling out of the salad mix and the kale chips.  We didn't sell all the tomatoes and zucchini as many people grow their own.  Also sold out of peaches and tomatillos.


We recuperated from our hard work by eating lunch at a cute Vietnamese/Thai fusion restaurant.  We had a kale/mushroom rice bowl and some Asian buns.  Tasty and different.


Returning to the farm, George picked kale and got it ready for the dehydrator.  We jumped back into the truck and went to Parducci Winery for an outdoor blues/jazz concert.  It was a lovely evening.


The minute the band started, the people hit the dance floor.  Lots of grey ponytails (on both sexes)!  For dinner, we had BBQ catered by "sWine".  Cute.

When we returned home, late, we packaged the kale chips.  Paola had picked more salad, so we are ready for tomorrow's market.  Busy day!
