This weekend was the 2015 Spring Craft Fair at the Piedmont Triad Farmers Market on Sandy Ridge Road. The three-day show is held every spring and attracts people from miles around. The above booth, The Wash Bucket Soap Company, is based out of Thomasville. They rely on their Pinterest pins, Facebook page, attendance at local shows, and repeat customers to help their business grow. Theirs was one of many booths set up and cars were lined up at the entrance waiting to get in and shop.
This past weekend in Greensboro, the weather was great for roaming the Farmers Market. In addition to arts and crafts, we saw people carrying bags and bags of produce to their cars. The Sandy Ridge Farmers Market does a great job of helping people of all ages feel welcome. Children get a chance to talk to farmers and see where their food comes from. They also get to see people like the folks at the Wash Bucket Soap Company and learn that they, too can make their own soap and, with a lot of hard work, they can open a business someday.
If you missed the event at the Farmers Market, put this Sunday's Parisian Promenade on your calendar. It will be from 12:00- 5:00 pm in the Tanger Family Bicentennial Garden on Hobbs and is another opportunity to stroll with family and friends. BYOP (Bring your own poodle)!
Our farmer's market features at least one vendor at the moment who specializes in soap.
