Summer 2011

Another drought and just barely recovered from the last one. Spring grass drying up, hayfields withering away, water tanks levels lower each time we take a look. Not a pleasant future ahead if we don’t get some rain soon.

Still busy with the Bastrop 1832 Farmers Market, selling my goat’s milk soaps, soy wax candles and natural skin balms along with my fresh eggs and herb plants.

In addition to being a full time vendor at the market, I am the secretary/treasurer of the market and in charge of publicity. Sure keeps me busy!

The Market continues to surprise me in the quantity and quality of the fresh vegetables offered every time I go to market. How do these farmers do it? Continue in the face of such hard times and bring such good food to market. Come check it out for yourself. You will be amazed and even grateful for all their hard work. The Bastrop 1832 Farmers market is located at 1302 Chestnut St. Bastrop, TX. Market hours are Tuesday from 2-6pm (perfect for after school and on the way from work) and Saturday from 10am-2pm October-May and 9am-1pm June through September.
