North City Farmers’ Market off to a Good Start

The following scenes from the first hour of the North City Farmers’ Market’s opening day show a lively and cool start to the season.

Set-up volunteer of the day, Ben Sever, up on the ladder putting up the market banner.

Graham & V pick up some fresh veggies from the City Seeds table.

Johnnie Owens buys some herbs grown in Old North's 13th Street Community Garden; Veronica Holden handles the sale.

Chef Euylan Welch prepares some "old school brick chicken" for the free samples.

The market will go until noon today — so there’s still time to get over here if you’re reading this right now.  If you can’t make it today, come back every Saturday between now and Oct. 31.
