From Market to Facebook
The Wild West Wheat Co. has been a rather exciting little experiment that continues to surprise me! My last blog was a detailed description of my preparation for the first farmers market.

I didn't dare sell vegetables again - too much competition from the Hutterites in that department. (Plus I didn't have that much from my garden anyway.)
