Farmers Market on Jan 23

On Saturday I went to the market downtown to promote my business and visited many people and various boothes. It sprinkled a little and we all got a little wet. Many of us tasted the samples handed out from dried fruit, organic cheeses, and various seafoods from Alaska. Another man sold glazed pottery in multiple units that was very beautiful. We watched the clouds roll in and we saw so many rainbows that day.

The boothes included people of various ethnicities and they had large breakfasts made from the vendors. People were constantly tasting some cheeses, mushrooms, dried fruits, oranges, grapefruits and other fruits as well as vegetables.

The atmophere here is very positive and people seem to enjoy going here on a weekly basis. I meet some of the same people each week and enjoy visiting with people and asking them if they go hiking around the area. It is amazing that I meet people who have just moved to town. I guess the county attracts people who are nature lovers. The beauty of the terrain is a blessing to this area and fortunately the earth is very fertile here. That is why Luther Burbank called this area the richest area for agriculture. He had an experimental farm in Sebastopol where he tried to experiment with various hybrid seeds from various countries.
