Farmers’ markets, including this one, have been getting a lot of press in the past few weeks. So has organic food. Some people say that organic food will soon become so multi-national there will be nothing local about it anymore. But for now, at this market we can get to know the people who grow our food – what a pleasure.
And it’s possible to join the other side, and work on the farms too. From farmer Jessie Sosnicki: “We are ready to take on a few people interested in the whole experience on our organic farm. Weeding, picking, grading, selling, as well as fun: BBQ's, camping, horseriding, fishing etc. One week, two weeks, a month, up to them and how everything is working out. I have accommodation for two folks in our home. All meals included of course! It's hard work, but a good experience for anyone that wants to learn how we do things around here. I can only handle two at a time, but we're going until frost, so many different folks can share in the experience thoughout the months!”
