Opening Day (at the market)

Yesterday was the opening day of the North Union Farmer's Market at Crocker Park. This was my first attempt at selling my food in a retail setting since staring my company in February. The funny thing was that as I was driving to the market I felt like I was heading off to my first day at a new job. I had the nervous excitement, apprehension and fear that I thought would not happen now that I was my own boss. Like a new job, those feelings quickly went away as I began to focus on the task at hand. My father came along to help out and I must thank him because his efforts really helped things run smoothly.

The market was a ton of fun, the weather was fantastic and it was great talking to all the people who attended. I cannot wait until next week; hopefully the weather will be just as nice. Thanks to all the people who stopped by my stand. I encourage everyone to come to the market and support the local farmers, chefs, bakers and artists who are there.
