| A typical fall layout of our farm stand. This shot is from the Orono Farmers' Market
in October '99. The market continues Saturdays into mid-November each year. This was
taken when we still towed a trailer to market behind the Honda - we now have a van so we
can bring even more produce to market! |

Tom weighs out a pound of beet greens at the Fairfield Farmers' Market. "It's a
whisker over, but you know me, I don't mind whiskers!" Giving folks a little extra
is our way of thanking them for shopping at the market. |
| Lois at Unity Farmers' Market, looking for a requested herb plant. Since she just
unpacked the car when the customer stopped by, she's trying to remember where she put
it. |

Pittsfield Farmers' Market, early June 2000. It's still just the beginning of market
season, so most of our display is garden seedlings and perennials. Not shown here is the
lettuce, carrots, beet greens, herbs, and asparagus next to the rhubarb. |

Since we offer varieties we grow ourselves, we can match a variety to what a gardener
wants to grow. Heirloom varieties offer unique old-time characteristics not found in
modern commercial hybrids, but most folks aren't familiar with them. |
