This Sunday marks the end of my ninth year at the Hyde Park Farmer's Market on the Square. Wow!! Has it really been NINE YEARS!! I know that doesn't seem like a long time to some people but I really enjoy my "job" and it amazes me that I have been at this market for nine years. Of course, I have been raising goats for about 12 years! Equally amazing - LOL!!!
The ending of the market season comes with mixed feelings. Yes, I am going to enjoy "sleeping in" on Sundays and not having to rush around making sure I have everything loaded into the truck. But, I am going to miss my fellow farmers and vendors. They are a great bunch of people who do amazing things. I do enjoy the products of their labor, too!! I will miss my customers. Many of them have become good friends. Many I don't know personally, but they do come back every Sunday to buy eggs or jams or soaps. I will miss their smiling faces! But as the saying goes . . . All good things must come to an end . . . Hopefully, the Good Lord willing . . . I will be back next year!
So, to all my customers . . . Thank you for your continued support, thank you for all your kind words about my products and thank you for your smiles!! You don't know how often those smiles really made my day. God Bless you all!
