Well, why Yes, SeattleDeb. Starting Sat May12 I'm closing off a street in the middle of OLD TOWN CLAYTON and lining up farmers on both sides of the double yellow line. Oh Baby this market is special...Cooking demos where a featured farmer talks and answers questions with a chef who is cooking his products (is this not a really cool thing.)
Tours given by a different chef, he talks about what he does with the different items on the market....live music, fresh omelets, dieticians giving free nutritional information, master gardeners answering organic gardening questions....gift certificates to the restaurants given away. Visiting authors and chefs.....info on sustainability and the differences in organic and sustainability....many volunteers that recieve market money for working a shift....whew!!!!check it out on www.saucecafe.com under chef's collaborative click on the eggplants to see Clayton Farmer's Market Pix. PS Nicko just put up an article I wrote on the market.
I write about my farmers so you'll get a sense of being there.
