Jug Bay Market Garden's Scott Hertzberg is an interesting guy...one of those people you want to hang out and chat with. He's passionate about local farming and sustaining the traditions of farming in a way that benefits both farmers and customers. In fact, he's so interesting to listen to that, when a group of us first met about the market this winter, Scott had a room of about 20 hanging on his words. As I wandered the market this weekend, I stopped by the Jug Bay tent several times (and it was packed most of the time!) and was impressed with the way Scott really interacts with his customers -- it was wonderful to overhear snippets of conversation with many, many people.
In the few minutes I could get with Scott when he wasn't working with a customer (but he was arranging produce and gorgeous flowers) I asked Scott a few questions:
How long have you been farming? Seven years.
What did you do before you became a farmer? I was a librarian. In fact, I still work as a librarian two days a week. I really need about 90 hours in every week.
So now you know. Scott Herzberg: Farmer and librarian. That is so cool. Stop by and say hi (and buy some of those lovely flowers) at the next Market, June 7.
In the meantime, keep visiting the website and this blog -- we continue to add and update all the time.
