Today was the first day ever of the Meadowbrook Farmers' Market. It looks like it's going to be a lovely event. I expected today to be slow because the market is so new and there were so few vendors, but we actually had a relatively busy day.
- This market is different from most others in the city because it is situated on a mostly residential street, so it draws people from the very immediate neighborhood. It's also hosted by an organization that owns the property where the market takes place, which means they're free from a whole level of red tape that weighs down many market administrations, affecting everything from the long term security of the site to the permitting process for holding an event there.
You could really tell that this was a collaborative effort built on the skills and dedication of a group of people with a strong commitment to the cause, with enough enthusiasm to create the foundation for something that could grow into something exciting in the future.
