Ronan Farmers Market offers new variety By Beau Biggs for the Valley Journal
Clean up pg. 18
RONAN — The Ronan Farmers Market met for the second time this season on Thursday, May 30, at 4 p.m. The market plans to keep the Thursday schedule throughout the season. New vendors are on site, including Sierra Farms from Polson with gelato made from sheep’s milk. Sierra Farms, who
also participated in the winter market, is now offering their icy treats during the summer season. Krista Gordon, who makes bread and other baked goods, also returned with a summer booth after participating in the winter market. She said: “I find it fun to get out in the community and meet people who want to see what my bread tastes like. I also just enjoy getting to meet
people who come out to the market.” “When I first started, I didn’t know I was going to be making bread,” she continued. “I just brought all sorts of things and sold what people liked. I would come prepared for anything and bring lots and lots of variety because you won’t know what people want to buy unless you bring it.”
