Beautiful (and windy) day at the Market today! Vendors are out with a myriad of veggies, baked goods, t-shirts, flowers, BBQ sauce, and much more. Personally, I bought some lovely Italian bread from Cordy's kitchen and some gorgeous asparagus from Mary Lou that I am looking forward to grilling.

Check out our latest video profile, and be sure to say hi to Mary Lou at the Farmers' Market this Saturday. Her booth is the one with all the beautiful sunflowers!

Mary Lou and Mark of M&M&m Farms in La Harpe, IL, gave Growing Galesburg a tour of their farm, explaining to us what they do there and why they do it.
