We don’t have enough regular vendors to hold a regular market, but for the open business day, we held a small market in downtown Paonia. Here’s Monica from Small Potatoes Farm and our Desert Weyr farm booth. Here’s Flying Fork’s fresh-baked goods and Fire Mountain with some vegetables. There were some lovely tomatoes from another… Continue reading
