Farmers Market Specials -- 2/15 - 18, Pow Wow Hawaii SlushY Special + Da Storm of Da Century

Last week was rough for the farmers market, weather-wise, especially on Saturday during our KCC farmers market service.  Due to weather, we lost all of our tents and it was total carnage for our supplies and equipment. The strong winds hit us when we were breaking down for the day.  

Check out the video below: 

And here's the aftermath via our farmers market manager Alex's Instagram: 

Yesterday at the #kccfarmersmarket we experienced some serious weather. Just 10 minutes of high winds causes this much destruction. After 5 years of doing the markets I've never experienced anything like this. Luckily this happened after the market closed and all of us weren't hurt. For sure a learning experience. We will rebuild our set up and be back at the markets this week. See you guys then! @pigandthelady
