T-R PHOTO BY SUSANNA MEYER Trisha Wilder, the manager of the Cartwright Farmers Market, poses behind her display of baked goods.
This event hosted four different vendors, including Wilder herself, each providing a unique mix of products and a friendly smile for anyone who stopped by.
Amelia Ward, one of the vendors, displayed a myriad of artistically made products on her table, ranging from knitted hats and wine cozies to bracelets and earrings.
Mayer’s table displayed farm fresh eggs, dog chews and homemade soap in a variety of scents.
“We’re hit and miss on certain days, because we have a little bit of a different product than a lot of people that you’re used to seeing at the farmer’s market.
“The dog chews are our newest thing that we’re sort of adding to.
On the subject of canines, Kristina Coltrain, and her son Jacksyn had a table stocked with gourmet dog treats.
While Wilder organized the event, she also had a table set up with bread loaves of all different flavors available for purchase.
In the beginning of her first summer season, they had few vendors and low attendance with only six or seven returning vendors.
Wilder said even after COVID hit in her second season as manager, they managed to grow a bit more in that season with various safety precautions in place.
While there weren’t many vendors ready for the market on Saturday, Wilder believes more of them will come for the next event on Jan.
