Headhouse Square Opens to Grey Skies

Monday, May 04, 2009

The Headhouse Square Farmers Market opened for the season yesterday morning. Sadly, the weather was grey and drizzly, but that didn’t prevent shoppers from crowding the Shambles to browse and shop. If opening day is any indication, it looks like it’s going to be a spectacular season, with many old favorites, including Culton Organics, Birchrun Cheese (I adore the Birchrun Blue), Wildflour Bakery and Spring Hills Maple Syrup.

Additionally, some new farmers and producers were there, including Dancing Hen Farm, which delighted me as they’re they CSA I’ve signed up with for the season and their produce looked bright and vivid.

This year, The Food Trust has also expanded the Saturday market, so if you can’t make it on Sundays, you now have expanded shopping options. Both markets run rain or shine, from 10 am until 2 pm.
