Week 20 at the 2015 Mill City Farmers Market

September 19 was an especially fun day at the Market. Highlights included the Heritage Bread Festival, hosted by Marty and Darrold Glanville of Sunrise Flour Mill, featuring presentations from professional bakers and samples and discussions with local bakers. OHK Grange provided kids with the opportunity to create seed art, and we met a Peruvian weaver at the ArtAndes booth.

Look for a separate post on the Heritage Bread Festival, including a video of the presentation, later this week on our Farmers Market blog.

Below is Engracia, a skilled Quechua weaver from Peru.  Next weekend at the Market, she will be joined by her fellow weaver, Pascuala.

Melanie shows how multiple panels (like the one Engracia is working on) can be combined to create a large blanket.

Compatible Technology International was the day's Community Booth.  They are a nonprofit organization that alleviates hunger and poverty in the developing world by designing and distributing simple, life-changing food and water technologies.

Ornamental gourds - love these little works of art!

Paula Foreman of Encore Farm returned to the Market with her heirloom beans.

Another fruitful trip to the Market for these shoppers.

Beautiful food...
