Michael at Franklin Avenue had a good report with photos too! (One of some chocolate chip children.)

Thanks for your report, I missed the soaps!

The only prepared food that I saw were those fresh juices. And the coffee stand was manned by Atwater Coffee as oppposed to Kaldi, as was suggested by SEE-LA at one point…

Have to check in w/ SEE-LA about new/more vendors coming joining in. There’s more room â€” I didn’t realize how big that parking lot is.

Meantime, it was fun, I agree. We went a half hour before closing and lots of tables appeared nearly sold out (or perhaps they started off modestly w/ fewer goods on opening day?). Among other things, we bought some meyer lemons from a really sunny young guy who said, “Thanks for supporting organic!” Hey, no prob.

See you there next week!

Well, I went to the opening of the Atwater farmer’s market this morning. I enjoyed myself and bought a wonderful large bundle of fresh, long rosemary. I also bought three terrific bars of handmade soap: mango poppyseed, lemon verbena and an aquatic smelling soap named “Buenos Aires”.

I noticed several tables set up as though people may be eating however I did not notice anything that could be purchased to eat on the spot unless you count fresh orange juice. Did they arrive later?

I’ll be going again next week.
