Beacon Farmers' Market — Attraction in City of Beacon

After an amazing weekend in Beacon, we decided to go to the farmers market: which had beautiful flowers and produce. Sadly, I made the mistake of touching an egg which was disoriented in a carton at the Wild Roots Farm stand. After, and despite having the intention of buying said eggs, I was lectured by the owner that picking up the egg was “the weirdest thing she’s ever seen” and she continued to question me about my decision (she called it my “compulsion”) to touch the egg.
