Minneapolis Farmers Market Annex – Summer 2014

Serenade Natural Products is a regular vendor at the Minneapolis Farmers Market Annex this season.  Find us under the first red shed on Lyndale Ave N.  If you’ve never been to this market, stop out and see what it’s all about.  You’ll find lots of fresh veggies grown in Minnesota.  Right now there’s rhubarb and asparagus.  More veggies coming every day.  Plus you’ll find flowers, herbs, and hanging plants.  It’s more than just a food market.  It’s a street fair with live music, shopping, and yummy food.  The selection of authentic sauces, salsas and pesto will blow your mind.  These are creations of local companies that you just can’t find in the stores.  And of course, you can stock up on your favorite handmade soaps and Bug Off spray.  We’ve got our 100% natural Bug Off spray in stock and available every weekend at the farmers market.  It’s a must have for our Minnesota mosquito season.  The farmers market is open every Saturday and Sunday from 6:30am-1:30pm.

Just Above the Trees……………..

Yesterday was the perfect day to fly.  My husband took my oldest daughter and her friends up in the hot air balloon.  They were just giddy like typical teen girls can be.  They took off from a lot near our house and flew just above the trees for a long time.  After all………….. “The best way of travel, however, if you aren’t in any hurry at all, if you don’t care where you are going, if you don’t like to use your legs, if you don’t want to be annoyed at all by any choice of directions, is in a balloon. In a balloon, you can decide only when to start, and usually when to stop. The rest is left entirely to nature.— William Pene du Bois, The Twenty-one BalloonsImageImageImage
