Farmer’s Markets Season 2016
Hard to believe we’ll be starting our 5th season of Farmer’s Markets in a scant two weeks. This shot is from our very first market, complete with nearly no identification (or really much of an idea of what we were getting ourselves into.) We had been official for a month and a half and only had curds and feta to sell that first season as our wheels ripened down in the vault. I 
love the expectation shown in the photo of myself, Joe and our friend Daniel at the Polson market….”will this work out or be an absolute bust?!?” Happy to report it worked out.
With a market under our belts, felt a little under control the following day at the Artisan Market held at the lovely Cottage on Main.
Soon our big yellow tent became well known. 
We had a few weeks of just the two markets a week before the big test – the market in Whitefish began. Towards the end of that first season, the Kalispell Farmer’s Market was added to the mix.
What a first six months Flathead Lake Cheese had!
Along the way, signage has become better and our display is a touch more attractive.
Sadly, The Cottage closed but that opened us up to the markets in Kalispell and Missoula on Saturday mornings.
You never know who or what you’ll come across at the Market. From old friends with cheese awards
(Stinky Cheeseman award for our fabulous Feta)
to new ones
to really large headed folks.
Here’s to a spectacular summer. We’re continuing our 4 market week. You’ll be able to find us under the big yellow cheese flag
