Here are the helpful volunteers ringing the opening bell on opening day yesterday at the Magnolia Farmers' Market. There was a decent turnout despite the chilly weather and I'm looking forward to a good season there.
There were some new vendors, like Flying Apron Bakery, Trevani Truffles, and Golden Glen Creamery, and old friends like Willie Greens, Alvarez Farm, Kitttas Valley Greenhouse, and Anita's Crepes.
The Magnolia Market is starting its sixth year and I doubt it'll ever be a rock star market like Ballard or Columbia City, but to me there's something sweet about the smaller markets that brings home the essence of the experience. They're not tourist destinations, just neighborhood gathering places offering wholesome fare.
