HAVE A LUCKY DAY

Keep your eyes open for four-leaf clovers, we hear they bring much luck. Legend has it three-leaf clovers were considered a sacred plant that symbolized the arrival of spring. Today they are used as part of every St. Patrick’s celebration along with all the green you can find.

The oldest known St. Patrick’s Day celebration was in 1601, in a Spanish colony which is now St. Augustine, Florida. Check this out; in 1967, an Irish-American from Shamrock, Texas thought he’d try his luck and wrote the mayor of Dublin asking to borrow Ireland’s famous Blarney Stone for display in Shamrock’s St. Patrick’s Day parade. Dublin’s mayor declined but sent the Texan a small piece of granite to be the Blarney Stone’s “twin” instead. It is always ‘no’ until you ask, right?

St. Patrick’s Day and its clovers are definitely a kick off to the change in season and with it comes more variety in the farm fresh food available to us. If you plan to enjoy corn beef and cabbage or any other food in your celebration, The Farmers Market is sure have fresh farmed items for you to enjoy. Plus, you’re in luck because we have a lot more planned for you.
