Long River Produce Market — Attraction in Deerfield

I have been an avid supporter of local agriculture for decades--I was a first generation supporter of NOFA (when people like me who crusaded for organic agriculture were regarded as freaks and weirdos); I volunteered at the MOFGA fair year after year; I have actively crusaded for organic, sustainable agriculture since Wendell Berry's first publication of The Unsettling of America: Culture and Agriculture; I have belonged to Many Hands Farm since its inception. And, I am not a complainer, as anyone who knows me can attest.

The people at the checkout were new to me, but super nice and kept people moving along fast (it was a bit busy). I miss your great store, but I'm happy to see that it is still...

Stopped by prior to visiting Yankee Candle Village. Great place, picked up gifts, and beautiful produce and bread.

Wanted to get them for a person who works on docks in the winter, but his shoe size is 13. They measured about the length of an 11 shoe. Also, I think a big seller would be bags of their own potato chips, seasoned with a blend of their own Herbs. I would have bought them! Great place, great prices for...
