Why Bring Your Goods to the Farmers Market:
The people. Some people are here every week and you get to know them but then some people never heard of us and we can get the word out. We're local in the community so we want to support the local community as well. It's a good space and a good environment. I mean, why wouldn't you want to be at the farmers market?
Best Part of Farmers Market:
The interaction with the people.
Shameless Plug:
Our Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program and Greener Partners Farm Shares. CSA helps the farmer to cover his costs and to plan for the growing season and the farmer then commits to sharing his harvest. Hillside is currently taking applications for next year's CSA.
