We’re at the Farmers’ Market every Wednesday with a selection of clothing and books from the store as well as some special items just for the Market, including Robin’s fantastic shoulder bags made from re-purposed jeans and jewels, and Patagonia® brand clothing. As ever, the kids get a free book. They seem to enjoy that a great deal.
The Farmers Market (organized by the Western Sustainability Exchange) starts at 4:30 Wednesdays through September and is held in a beautiful setting by the Miles Park Bandshell.
