What is your favorite part of the Clay Center Market?

As a vendor, my favorite part is meeting with all the people. Perhaps one of my fondest memories is when a lady came to me and said "I have not had a squash like this since my Grandfather died. He was Italian, lived in the Bronx, and grew this kind of squash. It was always my favorite. Now I come to Kansas and I find it again!"

The squash was an heirloom variety called Costata Romanesco.

On that day, I made more than a sale, I made a connection and brought back memories. It was more than just a squash, it was a fond memory of a loved one.

Do you have a fond memory or favorite moment from the Farmers Market?
