I made it to Moscow's Winter Market, held in the 1912 building, today. The Winter Market is held four times over the winter, once each in November, December, January, and February. It is meant to satisfied the farmer's market urge for folks who struggle between the last weekend in October and the first weekend in May, when the Moscow Renaissance Fair marks the beginning of market season. I love the idea of Winter Market, but winter veggies are hard to find anywhere on the Palouse in January. Most of the booths are crafts (kudos to the Society Socks booth). Tonnemaker Hill Farm was represented but their wares were restricted to apples, gourds, and dried fruit. Fortunately, we still have a stash of dried plums and pears from our trees!
January is just a hard month, especially during a mini-warm-up such as we've been enjoying. The days are still painfully short, and feels wasted if you're not skiing. Here's hoping the temperature drops again and we get some more pristine days on the mountain!
