There was a photographer from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette at the farmers market in Hillcrest on Saturday. He stalked our booth for a while and then told us we were going to get our picture in Sunday’s newspaper. Yay! It’s always nice to have a booth full of flowers. My father-in-law was the first to […]
….and last day for spring interns. We had a beautiful day for the opening day of the Hillcrest farmers market. We showed up with LOTS of broccoli, sunflowers, lettuce, sugar snap peas, baby squash, tomato plants and hydrangea bouquets. Despite the fact that the interns’ internship was technically over, they both showed up at the […]

It’s not always pretty along the way though. A […]
