Sweet Experience at the Farmers' Market PDF Print E-mail
Every Tuesday and Saturday, the side street of Hancock Park becomes populated with our local farmers with their treasures waiting for eager beavers to purchase the latest Heirloom tomatoes, Silver Queen Corn, Fresh Blueberries and the list goes on. I especially love going to the Farmers’ Market in Dahlonega because of the location, Hancock Park. Hancock Park was named after my dentist of thirty years. Dr. Hancock and his wife were tragically murdered because of family conflict. Dr. Hancock was one of the sweetest men I have known and my heart was deeply saddened after I learned of his death. When I was four years old, my father would drop my sister and I off for our “cleaning at 7:30 in the morning. This is when we didn’t worry about our children. I can still remember the smell of his office and his greeting to me was always a gentle pat on my cheek and he would say, “How’s my sweetie”. What a sweet man. So going to the farmers’ market in Dahlonega is a sweet experience for me. Thanks Dr. Hancock for your continue presence in our community.

We are gearing up for Chileshe and Dan’s wedding at Waters Mill. I purchased 300 ears of silver queen corn, prepared the corn and will serve the southern jewel to guests from all over the United States and across the pond, the United Kingdom, this weekend. My father used to say “when preparing Silver Queen Corn you gather as quickly has you can and if you “stump” your toe on your way to the house, the corn has already lost its sweetness. “ Well, I didn’t stump my toe and due to all the “sticky” residue when shucking the corn, I suspect the dish will be quite sweet.

 

This weekend will be a sweet weekend and we are grateful for the opportunity to serve Chileshe, Dan and their families. Congratulations you guys. Can you tell this has been a sweet experience…..hmmmm I love Silver Queen Corn. Ahhh…it doesn’t get much better than this.
