Views from the Española Farmers Market

Special pollinator workshop held on July 15th with Loretta McGrath who consulted with farmers and shoppers about making our yards and fields bee friendly. For more information: Farm to Table. Other photos are from the regular Monday market, which started slow this year, and now is up to speed with the bounty of the valley.
