Mother's Day at the Clayton Farmer's Market
Girls love farmers markets. It's true. And the best girls of all, Moms are especially fond of any festivity which honors everything good about motherhood.
Moms and farmers markets evoke similar feelings and memories. When asked what they love most about their Mom, most answers include some mention of a favorite food or a special gathering centered around a family meal.
When asked what they love most about a farmer's market, most people mention food again along with the "warm fuzzies" they get when they stroll among stalls filled with fresh produce and the aromas of freshly brewed coffee and Belgium waffles or BBQ filling the air.
It's no wonder that Moms like Farmer's Markets. They embody everything good about motherhood--love, family & friends and the best part--sharing these with others. Motherhood is about giving birth to the new, whether it's a baby or a business, and nurturing its development until it's ready to venture into the world at large. (Visits back home to see what's in the fridge are allowed.)

I see Moms every week at the Clayton Farmer's Market, including my own who drives in from St. Peters to proudly visit her daughter's market. We have Grandmoms, middle Moms and new ones, along with their children of all ages who bring that homey feeling with them on Saturday mornings.
Mother's of industry giving birth to their dreams and ideas in the the form flowers, produce, honey, beans, tea, eggs, and chocolate along with soaps, jewelry, and other crafts--all lovingly grown or hand-made await the weekly arrival of the other Moms who all speak the same language--of Mom Love.
