Warm Valley Market

Thanks to the generous loaning of their amazing greenhouse by my parents, we were able to participate in the 1st every Wallsburg Warm Valley Market. We specialized in Kale and Cherry Tomatoes. Esther Thompson was brave enough to head this up on her mothers land and with the help of Amy Crummett, made this possible. The only catch was customers... Wallsburg is already sparsley populated and the interest in local flair appears to have been lacking that year... possibly every year. Our most frequent visitors were the dogs accross the way, and they didn't have much of an interest in what we were selling. There were 6 brave patrons during this market season: Sam and Erin Hicken, Esther Tompson, Erika Thompson, Kamille Olsen, and Jack Thompson. Among these we made 3 big sales (each one crossing the cent placemark multiple times), faithful support, and some cautioning remarks from one. Thankfully we had lots of fun spending countless Saturdays chewing cud and waiving at unsuspecting passerbys. Our kids liked running around and Esther and Amy had done a nice job making the grounds enjoyable. We look forward to another day when citizens of Wallsburg will find renewed interest in local, however small, events. Until then, we bid the Warm Valley Market, adieu.
