Thursday the 17th marked the 2008 opening of the 17th Street Farmers Market. While I didn't make it to that first day open, I was able to spend an hour enjoying the outdoor market today. At 75 and sunny, today was a beautiful day to wander around Schockoe bottom and talk with local farmers and artisans.
The market wasn't as crowded as it is later in the season by either vendors or buyers, but the extra space and time meant that today's market felt almost like a family affair. Those who were there got to chat while enjoying not only an outdoor market but a musician whose piano playing was amplified throughout the market space.
I bought a dozen fresh brown eggs and a jar of homemade copper kettle cooked apple butter.
