Farmers Market

We are now at the Des Moines farmer's market!! What a fun experience - and tiring. I get up at 3:45 to make myself beautiful :) and load the car. Tom just rolls out of bed and is ready to roll. We are on the road by 5:00 am and have to be checked in by 6-ish. It is a great place for us - music and chocolate waif through the air. We are selling caramel apples, fudge, caramels, and chocolate dipped strawberries. We get to visit with current, past, and future customers. A lady came up to me who met me at the fair, she then ordered online at Christmas, and said she was very happy. How fun is that to meet a online customer! If you are interested in the Des Moines farmers market it is Saturdays from 7 am - 12 pm on Court Avenue http://www.knowdowntown.com/events/farmersmarket/.
