First Farmer’s Market – Ruidoso Downs

Our first day at the Ruidoso Downs Farmer’s Market as a vendor was a great experience.  It afforded us the opportunity to get to know our customers and find out the various ways in which the produce is baked, cooked, fried, BBQ’d or canned.  That information assists us in knowing how to pick the vegetables for their needs.

We picked our produce the morning of the market.  Inevitably, we did not arrive to the market until 7:45 am rather than the scheduled 7 am start.  We were sold out of all product but four zucchini before 11 am.  

Here is our produce, with Myron and my sister Becky in the background utilizing what little shade we could make.  The radishes in the box to the left are already almost gone.

We shaded the produce as best as possible with an old apple bushel basket and apple crate from the days when my grandpa sold apples off the farm.

It is a very easy going market.  If you do not come by the farm and buy direct from the field, we hope to see you at the market next Saturday.  You know the produce will be fresh because it will be picked that morning, therefore we appreciate your patience as we will be a tad late.
