On Tuesdays in Anna, you can find several area farmers set up in the parking lot on East Davie Street for the weekly 👩🏼🌾🍎🧑🌾Farmer’s Market🧑🌾🍎👩🏼🌾! The students did a quick scavenger hunt to see what’s available and to meet all of the vendors!
🌽Jeanne Brumleve, Brumleve Farms, has been farming for over 20 years and has been coming to the market all of those years. She still had some delicious looking sweet corn, watermelon and cantaloupe available.
🍠Nathan Sweitzer, Sweitzer Produce, has been farming with his family for most of his life and says his favorite part of the market is the people! This week, He had a “supervisor” on duty, his son Henry.
🫑Karl Sweitzer, Karl Sweitzer Produce, has also farmed with his family for many years and the students learned through the scavenger hunt that he and Nathan are cousins. There may be a little “competition”, but it’s friendly!
🍉Paulo Rafael, from Alto Pass, also had some big, beautiful watermelon and lots of tomatoes at his stand. Paulo has also participated in the market for several years and the students enjoyed visiting with him.
Many of the vendors participate in multiple weekly markets, the most we found was 8!!!
Although the season is winding down, these 4 vendors still have great selections of fresh produce! Be sure and stop by on Tuesday mornings from 7am - 12pm to get your pick of the crop!!!
We had a great time and appreciate all of the vendors taking time to talk to us AND pose for pics!!!🍉🍑🥒🥬🥔🧅🍆
