How did you get started with gardening and crafts?
I’m a busy beaver. It started with our farm we were in the pumpkin business, but we branched out every year. I’m crafty and enjoy doing crafts.
What’s the best thing about the Radford Farmer’s Market?
“The people. Folks stay awhile and visit. Many older folks wait for friends so they can shop together. Recently we’ve been having more young people and I’m so happy about that. There is more variety at the market. I like being here – it’s my relaxation. “
