Yeah, still doing the quarter. Originally it was to sell, which I did for about 6 years, but the farmers markets really didn’t hit here till about 4 years ago - well after I’d had enough of beating my head against the wall.

May sell some this year of things that you can’t put up - we got a market going now in the town I live in - but mostly with the high prices and scary times growing it for myself. Rearranged the garden plan to put in some survival stuff like beans, grains, etc.

I grow for myself. Mainly tomatoes for eating fresh and canning and of course giving to the neighbors and family.

We have a local farmers market but I heard it can be difficult to even get a stall let alone compete with the established growers. Seems to be kind of cliquish.
