“Everyone says,
Come to your senses, and I do, of you.
Every touch electric, every taste you,
every smell, even burning sugar, every
cry and laugh. Toothpicked samples
at the farmers’ market, every melon,
plum, I come undone, undone.”
― Dean Young
The Farmer’s Market, in this case “The Little Market That Could – Smoke Signals Farmers Market” near Tractor Supply in Prior Lake, is truly a special place. Full of sights and sounds, goats in a pen, a pony ring, clowns and boy bands showing off their stuff.
Classic car roll-in and food wagons round out the evening. This one is part market, part carnival, part village of vendors that offer genuine farm grown produce and wonderful breads, unique rugs and embroidered dishtowels and much more.
As farmer’s markets evolve, there doesn’t seem to be much for the kids to do. Not so at this market. There are clowns of all sorts wandering around, a Curious George entertainer, shows specifically for kids to interact with and the ever-present goats and an occasional pony petting event. Kids can pick out a specially decorated sugar cookie and get shimmery tattoos as well.
