I was hanging out at the Homer Farmers Market with a guest of mine when I happened to overhear one of the vendors talking with a customer about living off the grid. I have always admired Paul and Jen with WillGrow Farm for their off-the-grid lifestyle. Now I can add Dave &Delynn with Riverview Honey to that list.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy has officially declared this week as Farmers Market Week to “encourage all Alaskans to recognize the economic contributions of Alaska’s farmers, producers, growers and small businesses to the local communities, and to enjoy the abundance of quality Alaska-grown food sources by seeking out farmers markets.”
It was cold and blustery for the first Homer Farmers Market this year. Many vendors found themselves shivering as much as they would at a late September Market, but their robust dedication paid off. Visitors and shoppers flooded the Market most of the day.
