The Farm-Covered Mini-Planet

A farm-covered mini-planet

The above image was created by first shooting 26 photographs and “stitching” them together to create a seamless 360° by 360° panorama. That panorama was then used twice to create the final image above. A limited number of prints are available for purchase.


Phase One Update Completed

December 21st, 2007 No Comments »

Some tasks took less time, some took more, but Phase One was completed today with all markets now contained in a database. What does this mean to you? Primarily, being able to use the SEARCH function.

For tips on ways to quickly find the markets you’re looking for, and even narrow your search or widen it, simply select your state here on the right, then click on SEARCH in the menu bar when you arrive at your state’s page. You will find easy to use instructions with multiple options.

Phase Two has already begun and will bring more goodies. Thanks for relying on us.

BTW: We’ve had so many Phased upgrades since 1995, that I lost count, so this time, I decided to start over with #1.


Antique Fine Art with a Unique Flavor you Wear

Root Beer Man in Stained Glass

Antique Stained Glass on a T-shirt

This stained glass pub sign was in my family for generations and it’s estimated to be over 100 years old. Ever since I can remember, it fascinated me (as a lot of art did).

I changed this version to say “Root Beer” since I think it looks great on kids. The original “Bier” version is also available.

Please stop by our apparel store (operated by CafePress) and check out our other unique items, and nothing but unique items — only available from the Farmers Market store featuring designs (and this reproduction) by Lar Matré.


Calling all Writers (published wannabe’s and higher) …

December 18th, 2007 No Comments »

I believe there are many people reading this who have stories to share about farming, about farmers’ markets, about cooking with fresh produce, and some who may even have some fabulous recipes filled with seasonal produce varieties available only at your local Farmers Markets.

If you have related archive stories, but still relate to today, those may have a place here, too.  I’m offering extra editorial coverage, a first published piece for some, but unfortunately no compensation.  I have had this site online since 1995, and have always used my own money to keep it that way.  I hope to change that, soon, in a very reasonable and fair manner, so at least the site’s expenses are covered.

Ideas, questions, comments … please click on Field Office.  I would certainly appreciate it.
