A Note from Libbey
I am stepping down as market manager as of June 29. However, You can expect to see me at the market as a customer who will have the time to sit for awhile to listen to the musicians, to accompany my husband as he makes his shopping rounds and maybe meet friends for breakfast in Merchants Square.
I have watched all of you for eleven years as you have made the market the start of your Saturdays. Now I will join you for this Saturday morning gathering, I can't think of a better way to keep in touch and get the best food and plants.
There will never a perfect moment to retire from a job that grew from a "part-time" job into a passion filled with fascinating, hard working farmers, bakers, watermen, and chefs. I have been blessed with volunteers and customers that I count as friends. There was never a dull moment!
With my background in horticulture you can guess that much of my retirement time will be spent in our garden tending to many of the plants I bought at the market.
My assistant, Tracy Herner, will oversee the market until the new manager is selected, the volunteers will continue to contribute their talents and the board will keep the market on track. And best of all you can count on another year of products being brought to you by your favorite vendors.
I look forward to seeing you at the market as it enters its twelfth season, and for many years to come. Thank you for your support as we have grown the Williamsburg Farmers Market together.
With warm regards
Libbey, Market Manager
