July 25th THE FARMERS' MARKET CHALLENGE
I want to remind you about the Farmers' Market Challenge. This is for everyone. If you have a Farmers' Market in your area we would like to see your photos. If you don't have a farmers' market how about a roadside produce stand? Or maybe you grow your own vegetables? Do you raise chickens or geese, do you use the eggs? We want to see your photos.
The purpose of this challenge is to raise awareness for purchasing locally produced foods. Be it fruits, vegetables, dairy products or related items we want to know what's available where you live.
How will this work? All you have to do is post photos and/or a story on your blog on or before Saturday, July 25th. When you have it posted come back to my blog and add your link. If the stars align and it works I will have Mr. Linky up and running. I will post Mr. Linky on Friday the 24th.
No matter how big, no matter how small we want to see your photos. Plan your post now and spread the word, let's see if we can make this a worldwide event.

Yeppie! i am IN.
I took pictures yesterday of the Fairhaven Farmers Market and will post them for this challenge. And today I'll head up to the snow for a coupla new cool pictures. SQ, I almost didn't read your blogs because I am no fan of squirrels, but am I ever glad I did! You are a true blogophile: making new connections and leading other to connect! Thanks for sharing.
I wish there is one farmer market, or produce stand that I know of..Maybe I wll take a drive to the country..
What an interesting and meaningful challenge!
I'll take my camera with me tomorrow! A x
I'll go out to the garden with my camera now...
I tried to post earlier, I can't take pictures except with phone but will try to stop on the way back and get some produce stands, they are thick on the road back home.
I hurt my back but I am so hoping to go this weekend. We have a fun one near us with homemade breads and jams, flowers and crafts. I am going to try.

OK, I not only took the camera outside to the garden, I also browsed for some shots from last year's stand. Here are the links for my two posts... (Yep, couldn't fit it all into one.)

I'm looking forward to seeing all the posts from this time. Hope you get lots of participation.
I don't have a Farmer's Market near me but I'll take a wee drive up north and see if I can capture a photo with this theme in mind. It sounds like a lot of fun!
We're all set up and ready for you at Honeygo Beasley's blog.
Thanks again for this Challenge - it was wonderful!
