My first underground farmers market, both as a vendor and attendee was great fun.  We sold pickled grapes and green garlic, and sold out of baked mochi and two kegs of ginger beer (the nonalcoholic variety.)   It was crowded, but everyone seemed to be in high spirits.  The door was well regulated, leading to one hell of a line around the block, and just barely enough space to move around inside.

As the event wound down, we took stock of what was left of our refrigerator pickles (about 25% of what we brought!) and decided there was only one thing to do: barter.   Which was great – we got cakes, truffles, bbq pork sandwiches, cupcakes, granola, bacon bbq sauce, macaroons, kombucha, homegrown beets and more, all in exchange for a few pickles.  This is the sort of participation and attitude that makes this event such a success, and such a pleasure to be a part of.

Thanks to everyone who bought our wares, and don’t forget to refrigerate your pickles!
