Los Lunas Farmer's Market

Tuesday June 16 marks the first day of the new Los Lunas Farmer’s Market. I hope everyone comes to support this long awaited market. For more information try going to this link:

I am beginning to learn that Los Lunas is full of good people who feel stranded by others' the notion that we are too far away from Albuquerque to warrant any real consideration as a viable option for healthy food. La Montanita Co-Op at last conversation has no plans to investigate the possibility of opening up down here. Forget about Whole Foods or Sunflower Markets.
Never mind the “coals to Newcastle” idea. While many people have vegetable garden plots and the Valencia County Community Gardens organization is growing like a weed(pardon the pun), it is often too difficult for someone for whom farminig is not a full time job to grow a comprehensive, family-sustaining vegetable garden.
So I think a Farmer’s Market is a welcome addition to our booming little life in the country.
