Farmer’s Market

For a Sunday outing, or before or after church, stop by the Douglas Farmers Market, open 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Castro 10th  Street Park, for homemade pastries with a cup of freshly brewed hot coffee that can be enjoyed with friends and family while listening to live music by talented local groups.  Chat with local farmers, ranchers and beekeepers while shopping for locally raised produce and meats. This week the market will feature a solar cooking demonstration and the Simmons Family Band.  A new baker for the market, Maruza Buchanan, originally from Brazil, is shown here (in the middle assisted by her daughter to the left), helping Farmers Market Co-ordinator, Kathleen Gomez, right, to some lemon bars that she made in addition to a tempting array including biscotti, scones, sweet breads, cookies and brownies.
