This FARM BUREAU bench may be empty now, but it will be full of people this weekend when the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market hosts the Crawfish Boil. The event is sponsored by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Crawfish are $6 a pound live and $7 cooked. During growing and harvest seasons, the farmers' market- on Sandy Ridge out by the airport- tries to have themed events or promotions severas weekends a month.
Do you remember that the NC Commissioner of Agriculture, Steve Troxler, is from Guilford County? Since his department is sponsoring the Crawfish Boil, perhaps he'll be there greeting people. Head on out, have some good cajun fun, and see if you can see Mr. Troxler. He has been in farming his whole life, so, likely, he could tell you some great stories about farming. Hope to see you there!
I wouldn't mind sitting there, waiting for a delicious crawfish meal.
