One of my favorite parts of summer and fall are the farmers markets.

I love to walk around and see all of the fresh produce, flowers, and all other offerings you can find in Jersey.

The West Windsor Community Farmers Market first started in 2004 with just 8 farms and a bakery. Since they have grown and they have 20 farms and 29 vendors according to their website.

This past weekend they hosted "Cool 'n Airy" at the farmers market which included various Kitchen and Food related ware vendors.

One of these vendors was one of our listeners, Cast Iron Kyle, who is well known for his vintage cast iron restorations.
