The above photo was taken at the Farmers Curb Market on Yanceyville Street. Those jams and jellies from Cornerstone Garlic Farm are not only beautiful to look at, they are fabulous to taste. And, oh, they have fantastic names, like Caramel Apple Cider, Jalapeño Garlic, and Watermelon. The warmth of the spring sun shining through them really catches your eye from across the room. The lady in the purple jacket sells plants and moss and has great prices. The birdhouses in the back of the photo are at the stand where local honey is sold, harvested by bees at Guilford College.

If you can, visit one of our local farmers markets this weekend. The experience isn’t just about getting great produce, food, and other products. It is also about supporting local people and developing special relationships with them. Whether you are on the list to get duck eggs from Lindley Park, George’s special salsa from the Sandy Ridge market, or some garlic powder from Cornerstone at the curb market on Yanceyville, the farmers, cooks, and vendors will get to know you, look forward to seeing you, and even reserve things for you. It is so easy to become a a regular customer.

Speaking of regulars, thank you for being a regular, right here on Greensboro Daily Photo!
