Flagstaff Community Farmers' Market
Researched and written by Jon Vroom
Every summer, here in Flagstaff, we have this wonderful event that serves so many purposes... the Farmers' Market.
There mission statement says it all: "The Flagstaff Community Market (FCM) is a regional producers market that operates for growers and producers of agricultural and related products. The primary purpose of the Market is to support small and medium sized independent growers and producers by providing citizens with a local alternative to corporate and globalized food production. It is our intent to connect growers and consumers and encourage people, both urban and rural, in growing more of their own food. A secondary purpose is to provide an outlet for small-scale producers of value added food products, local artisans, and community and sustainable agricultural groups. Additionally, it is the purpose of the Community Farmers Market to provide a Community gathering space for residents and visitors to Flagstaff to mix in a relaxed, educational, and fun environment."
Recently, I brought my camera along as I made my purchases of marmalade, organic eggs, raw beets, corn, honey and more. Here's a reflective set of pics:
Produce and other items arrive early direct from the source.
Fresh produce, fruits and vegetables, direct from the farm is the hallmark of our community market. It's nice to buy something picked on the same day.
Fresh is the key word, so flowers qualify, as well as lemonade.
Leeks, potatoes, squash... soup, anyone?
The bright colors of good health are on display on every table.
