While some might consider settling down to mean marrying, starting a family or buying a house, for Carley Conemac it meant putting a stop to her decadelong adventure of hopping trains and instead, finding a town to tuck into. In Homer, she found not only a community, but also a passion for silversmithing, which she now shares with others.
Now is the perfect time to hit the Homer Farmers Market. Produce variety is at its peak; you can find just about anything that grows in Alaska right now. All the greens and root crops, all the broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage family, all the onions and garlic, all the herbs you can imagine.
As August winds down and September starts, we enter the last month of summer production at the Homer Farmers Market. This hasn’t been the warmest or sunniest summer, but as we could see at last week’s Zucchini Races, there was still fun to be had.
