A woman who KNOWS how it's Done!
So much so, I've already seen a few other markets wanting to use the name. YUP, you read that right.
There is one market recently started, that's using a very close name.
They don't understand, it's not the name of the market that brings so many dealers/customers, it's WHO IS RUNNING THE MARKET!!

✨This log cabin was built by the McCarrolls in the 1840s, when this part of Florida was still a frontier. It was later lived in by the Hogan family. The cabin includes a board-and-batten kitchen that was added onto the back of the original log structure.

Today, the house sits at Morningside’s Living History Farm in Gainesville, where it was relocated to help recreate what a family farm in 1870s Florida might have looked like. The farm includes the 1840s cabin, the attached kitchen, a barn, a one-room schoolhouse, an heirloom garden, and heritage-breed farm animals.

On the first Saturday of each month (September–May), the Farm offers live interpretive experiences that bring this history to life.

📍Located at Morningside Nature Center in Gainesville, Florida

just a reminder, Trees are Extremely Important to ALL LIFE FORMS.
So sad that the State itself, doesn't see it that way.
My Not so humble.
