Windham Gardens

Windham Gardens

This picture is of Windham Gardens is Granby, CT. It operates a flower nursery, and as a produce farm. It is operated by veteran farmer Doug and his wife, Erin Windham. Following my Freshman year at UVM, I spent a summer working on the farm, mainly doing retail at the farm and at farmer's markets. I enjoyed my time working at the farm, and it's what made me interested in local agriculture.

Back from the Market!

March 31st, 2012
Saturday

Well, I just got back from the Burlington Farmers Market, and boy it was fun. I like to attend markets as frequently as possible, but being the broke college student that I am, I'm usually limited to window shopping. Today, I went crazy, spent all of my allotted grocery money for the next two weeks. Instead of looking at the delicious food and daydreaming, I was able to actually buy the food that I always imagine buying. Besides being able to actually purchase the food, I felt genuinely good handing my money to the people selling their goods. I felt like I was helping support another human being. All in all, it was a really fun way to spend a Saturday morning, I felt like I was doing a good thing, and on top of that, I came out with some really delicious looking food.
