Farmers Market Surprise

     With all the time I have off this summer, thanks to Gummy Bear, we have finally been able to frequent the local farmers market again. I’m so glad we have been making the time. There are so many new and exciting vendors!

​     There is an alpaca farm who brings a pair of actual alpacas to feed (Goomba’s favorite), a coffee/kombucha cart, a grill, even the local book store. And my favorite new addition? A local composting company selling worm castings!

​     Those of you who’ve been here a while know how excited I get about compost. And with my multiple failed attempts at my own vermicomposting, this chance to acquire “black gold” is paramount! Not to mention I have spent many a days contemplating just how to get my town to better utilize and reduce waste (specifically in the form of compostables). To see this company at the farmers market just made my heart sing with joy. I had to support them (and consequently get my hands on some of the best fertilizer around).

​   Sadly, they don’t yet sell worms for home composting. They do, however, offer a pick up service for kitchen scraps, where you can “earn” differing amounts of worm castings. I’m so excited to see this company grow. It was a wonderful surprise to discover them in a most unexpected place.
