If the Lents International Farmers Market was in an Alanis Morissette song, it would sing, “I’m small, but I’m global.” On Sundays from 9 p.m. to 2 p.m. from June 15th-Oct. 12th, the market’s modest lot off of 92nd and Foster offers an impressive array of goods and services. This week, in addition to the selection of colorful produce, I found some unexpected gems, including:
- fresh eggs
- acupuncture services from Pins and Needles Mt. Scott Community Acupuncture
- a booth for kids activities
- gorgeous fall flowers (mums galore!)
- handmade cutting boards
- honey
- soap
- cards
- live acoustic folksy music
- piping hot enchiladas
With only two more markets this season, if you haven’t checked out this small, but community-based market, you’d better shake your tail feathers. And if the economy’s apparent implosion has you worried, have no fear– the market’s low prices will have you sining along with Alanis, “I’m broke, but I’m happy.”
I don’t understand how you successfully pulled off comparing Alanis to an open air market… but it works!
