‘The# FarmersMarket Guide’ a handy book for shoppers

The #Mountainair Farm & Garden Market is in its second year, surviving and thriving. In additions to Mountainair Community Garden,, local home gardeners and permaculturists and, recently noted, a small community garden at St Vincent de Paul's. Farmers markets supported by local producers, artisans and shoppers are central to local sustainability, central to iCreate's mission.

Farmers markets can carry an amazing abundance of products. At this time of year shoppers might find fresh fruit, vegetables, herbs, salad greens, cut flowers, baked goods, eggs, meats, honey, jams, preserves and soaps.
