Imagine a scene where people are browsing aisles of colorful peaches, zucchini, and squash, selecting fresh eggs and milk, smelling fragrant flowers, admiring homemade crafts, and taking in the heavenly aroma of baked goods while also enjoying the sounds of local musicians. Picture neighbors visiting, eating, and shopping together. A trip to stock up on good food for the week thus naturally evolves into an environment for neighbors to chat with neighbors. When people come together in a warm and friendly atmosphere it becomes a fertile garden of opportunity to plant the seeds of community spirit and problem solving. This is our dream for the Farmers’ Market of Owen County.
