WHERE - Robin’s Market Route 32, just south of New Paltz fresh fruits, veggies, prepared pastries & entrees, eggs-
And we have great stuff on the bus to sell including hand bags crafted from our stuff & other reusables like pet food bags created by our friend Joann Boniello
many thanks to Billiam Van Roestenberg Liberty View Farm, Dave & Anne Rogers and Robin's Warehouse Outlet for making it possible for us to salvage our disaster this weekend when our new Reuse-a-Bus went up in smoke shortly after we embarked on our maiden voyage to Clearwater Revival. We had to get this out before we could gather all the names of the folks in the picture below, the farms that sell at this farmers' market & all the volunteers who helped with our bus so we'll catch that in our next newsletter. Please support the efforts of all these wonderful farmers by coming to the farmers market this Friday and help us recoup the $2000 we spent trying to put the Reuse-a-bus on the road and were planning on making this past weekend at Revival.
 hopefully this picture will open we've been having trouble lately
