My Last Day at the Market

I had a terrific final day at the Hunterdon Land Trust Farmers' Market one month ago today. Since then, Tony and I have moved to Wilton Manors, Florida, as one of my two signs indicated would happen.

My other sign showed I was down to three dairy ice creams and one vegan frozen dessert.

And I actually had only one pint of the VFD when I arrived. Our friends Stacy and Hal had visited us the Sunday before, and I gave them a pint of the Chocolate-Ginger. We'd gotten brunch at Sprig & Vine, the terrific vegan restaurant in New Hope and a place I'll sorely miss. And I'll miss S&H a lot, too! 😀

The last kind of ice cream to sell out was, not surprisingly, the most unusual one, Beet-Nutmeg. The woman who bought the final two did so after trying a taste from my sampling pint and saying she liked the flavor so much, it was a no-brainer of a decision.

Comeback Farm's Mark came to see me about buying some pints right after I'd sold out of my full containers and was starting to pack up, at about 12:45. I sold him my four samplers, most of which contained a good amount of product, for a bargain price.

Thanks to everyone who supported my business during the many pleasant Sundays I spent at the market, including college friend Heidi and her husband, Glenn, who stopped by on that last day.

Creating and running Huge Hound is an experience I'll never forget. Right now, I'm focusing on landing a full-time job with benefits here in the Fort Lauderdale area, but I hope to restart my business at some point. If for whatever reason I can't/don't, I'll at least always know I made that entrepreneurial dream come true for a year or so in Hunterdon County. 😀

Much love and all the best,
Bill
