May 2nd marked the Gladstone Farmers Market's 3rd birthday! Just like any three year old, we're growing and changing before your very eyes. Excited for the 2:00 opening, we had a line of anxious shoppers.
New this year are "traveling vendors." You will find them in the middle
of the market under the beige canopies. These vendors will rotate
monthly and bring local crafts, produce and communities activities. Below is Jody Wells, or "Windchime Woman" as she calls herself. Jody brought a beautiful display of glass windchimes as well as chimes made with antique silverware. Jody is hoping for more sunshine when she returns on June 6th that will show her chimes off even better.
