Farmers Market

Our most unique item were these ridiculously long green beans! We thought they looked like the World's Longest Fingernails so Kelsey posed that way for the photo. She said they taste good too!
Kelsey also took a photo with Barb Hackman of Hackman's Market. Her daughters, Jenny and Liana, were home working hard on the farm. I think it's so neat that the whole family works together. Their dad, John, started the market many years ago, and after both girls graduated from college they came back to run the market. They have some of the best sweet corn in the county!!
I had my photo taken with local artist Sara Hanlon. While I was standing next to her she was working on a painting of the Farmers Market. She had some pretty great paintings and she recognized Kelsey and I from the newspaper which was cool. The market was great for me because I grew up on a farm in eastern Bartholomew County. My dad still raises beef and grows corn, soybeans and alfalfa. I know first hand the hard work the people at the Farmers Market put in to be able to sell these wonderful products. I hope people never forget the importance of America's farmers.
