I'm really sorry I missed the grand opening. I remember the Fair Food stand when it started: Ann, one table of produce and a toy cash register. It's been great to see it grow and expand over the years to become an integral part of the market. The expansion is proof there are a lot of people that value having access to good local food. Joe did an amazing job putting together the beautiful new stall. My daughter will be sad that she missed seeing Emily, who used to put her to work... Great photos… I'm really sorry I missed the grand opening.

What a wonderful achievement, with wonderful folks involved at all levels. Nothing like this in Chicago. Great seasonal farmers market on Saturdays and Wednesdays from 8am to 1pm, but that's about it. How lucky you all are!! So sad I wasn't there to see this.

Since they got Olivieri's no one has had the ..... to speak up. But just so you know the Reading Terminal Gallery openly practices nut harvesting. It's said that Paul Steinke is especailly fond of them. Since harvesting Olivieiri's nuts the market boasts about a dozen 'cheesesteak' vendors. I've herd the sanwiches are a litle chewy. @Jerry, RE: nuts
