Shop Sandpoint, shop the farmers market

I am writing to applaud the Sandpoint Farmer’s Market managers, volunteers, vendors, and friendly farmers who have kept the Saturday market going this spring.

While I miss the music, crafters, and dancing children, these will all be back in due time at Farmin Park. Certainly, I cannot be the only shopper who appreciates the time and effort put into making the parking lot work with COVID-19 compliance measures that may keep our community safer. In supporting the farmer’s market, shoppers are helping these producers earn something for their efforts to plan, grow, and bring in products. Please go out Saturday, purchase some organic salad greens, buy some plants for your garden, and grab some tasty bread or baked goods for your table. Thank the people and enjoy the fruits of their labors. Shop Sandpoint locally and responsibly.
