Brief rainstorm at market early summer 08

The market yesterday was lovely. Cloudy skies and a weirdly wild but brief storm the night before had us worried that we would have to cram everyone inside, but positive thinking sent the clouds away and we had a good market. Our fundraiser the week before for the Groundswell Community Farm netted $220 for Katie and Anna – we hope that helps them get back to us soon! Thanks to everyone who contributed, and the Groundswell Gals thank you too!

This morning I was thinking what a blessing it is to be associated with such hard working splendid people like the farmers and vendors of Sweetwater. This came to me as I cut two thin slices of Das Brot, Earthly Kneads fabulous Spelt Bread, and toasted it. To this I added a schmear of Dancing Goat Creamery’s plain Goat Cheese, and topped it off with a dollop of Food for Thought’s Wild Blueberry Merlot jam. We had strawberries from Fruitful Acres so I added a handful to a smoothie made with my own homemade Keifer made with raw milk from our milk share with Liberty Family Farm. Breakfast, and what a great one!

Anyone have other Sweetwater food stories to share? Do tell!
