Adair Farmers Market: A good outlet for Coview Farms By Ed Waggener Photo follows this article Raising berries, herbs, bedding plants, and vegetables is working out really well for the Darrell and Cathy Bunnell family. The Bunnells operate a 20 acre farm at Coburg, on Highway 1913, and sell the produce of the place at their own farm, at the Adair Farmers Market, and at the Taylor County Farmers Market. The Columbia Market is open Tuesdays and Fridays, 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The Taylor County Market is open three days a week, Mr. Bunnell said. They are incomers. The Bunnells moved to the area from upstate New York by way of Virginia. "We really like it here," Mr. Bunnell said. They find the pace here to their liking, and like the wholesome lifestyle their children, Amanda, Caitlin, and Ethan are able to enjoy. Farming operation is working well The money from their produce grown on "Coview Farms" is working out well, Mr. Bunnell said. Mrs. Bunnell is able to stay home and work in the farm business, and Darrell Bunnell says he like to, as well, but has needed the extra income he makes working off the farm as a carpenter at Green River Marina. Tuesday, the Bunnells offered bunches of green onions, lettuce, red and green cabbage, and new red and white potatoes. An unusual display was of tiny, grape-sized potatoes. "They're good," Mr. Bunnell said, "and they're cook quickly. We just wash them, boil them for a short time, and eat them with salt and butter." Setting up shop is simple, quick On sale days, their stand is quickly erected with two oil table cloths spread over lightweight 8-ft folding tables. The stock room, for the store is on the pick up bed. The trees provide a nice canopy of shade, and usually theirs a little breeze. Striking camp is even simpler, especially if sales are good; then there is less to carry back to Coburg. The family had a herb plant section at the market Tuesday, which included mint, sage, flat and curly parsley, rosemary, thyme, and garlic chives sets. Everything they sell at the farmers market, including the head lettuce they keep in a cooler, is raised on their farm. Coview Farm offers an early blueberry, but those are sold out. The few blueberries they are still harvesting are to be used for their own family, Mr. Bunnell said. The strawberry season is past, but customers can look forward to the raspberries they will be selling in July. Farmers Market a simple place to shop The Adair Farmers Market, where Darrell and Ethan Bunnell were selling Tuesday, is an simple place to shop. There are no carts, no cash registers, and, most days, there's nothing for sale which requires sales tax to be paid. Some days, it's possible to shop and buy from your car That day it could be perused by just driving through. There was no necessity to get out of the vehicle. Spaces are $5 for a day or $25 for the season. While the printed schedule is 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., sellers do often stay later if they still have stuff to sell. The Adair County Extension Service is not strict about the hours, but the sales are allowed only on the two scheduled days. This story was posted on 2005-06-21 13:08:49
