First Farmers Market in 2012

Last Saturday saw us head to Carp for our first farmers' market of the year. I wanted to get some meat pies and eccles cakes made by the British pie lady!














Didn't see much local fresh produce for sale. Instead many farmers were selling garden plants. 














There is always something new... like this outdoor portable wood-burning pizza oven...














They were doing a brisk business...














There was still a lot to be had... Vendors were selling home-made dog food...














Home-made soap...














Garden rocks...














Honey, quilts, pottery, baked goods and more!

A motorcycle club was also part of the action - raising money for a Father's Day cause. One quick look around - then indoors to buy my frozen pies - and head home again.

I noticed a sign saying that the average distance vendors travel to sell at the Carp Farmers Market is 23 kilometers (or about 14 miles)! That's probably the distance many shoppers (like us) travel to get there as well!
