The People’s Market in Glenwood at 1417 Glenwood Avenue opened for the season last Thursday. It bills itself as a handmade, homemade, homegrown market. For almost ten years, the People’s Market has provided platforms for start-up growers, bakers, and makers to sell their products* If you want a good, home cooked meal, a chance to double your SNAP (food stamp benefits), an opportunity to interact with neighbors, this is a great place to go. As you can see, there is plenty of open space and you can bring a blanket and sit a while. There is also an opportunity to be a vendor, if you are interested in selling food, produce, or a craft.

By the time we arrived last week (near the end), the market has slowed down and some things had sold out. It was fun seeing everyone come together as community. Upon leaving the market, we always swing by Lexington Avenue where there is a Free Little Library and we always find a book that we want to read. The owner of the library is Liz. Rest assured she is around the corner at the market catching up with friends. 

Have a great Thursday, regardless of what you decide to do!
