Buying local seems more important now than ever. With the wavering economy, it just makes you feel good to buy from someone down the street rather than from the other side of the world.
White Rock Local Market was the brainchild of Sarah Perry and Green Spot owner, Bruce Bagelman. The market was envisioned to provide a venue for locally made and grown products to be offered in an open-air market environment.
If this first opening of the market was any indication, the interest to buy local is high, indeed.
Sadly, said Bagleman, two of the produce vendors had to cancel at the last minute, one because of a broken arm.
But the limited supply of produce didn’t seem to bother the customers as they thronged to vendor booths. The Bee guy, Brandon Pollard, was there. He has been a fixture at the Dallas Farmer’s Market for years.
It’s important for people to understand how their food supply is made possible, said Pollard. In addition to making ZIP code 75214 honey, he sells other bee-related goods such as bee pollen and beeswax products.
