'The Original' Farmers' Market Thrives in New Location

Barbara Anglin was worried that a new location and new competition would do serious damage to the farmers' market she's managed and grown over the past nine years.

But she's happy to say she was wrong.

"It's been crazy," she said during a break at last Thursday's market at its new location on a grassy field at Plimoth Plantation. "It's like the old times when the parking lot was full and people actually had to wait to get in."

Anglin credits the support of the farmers and producers who stood by her last year, and the 600-plus people who submitted a petition supporting Anglin's market to the Board of Selectmen.

"It's all due to the the people who have stood by us," Anglin said.
