Do you remember Bluffton before a farmers' market existed?
The Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce started the farmers' market in 2003 when Wendy Chappell-dick was CEO.
The first committee included Chappell-Dick, Alan Comesky, Pete Fleming and Jon Sommer.
"Our first vendors were TR Steiner, Bread Kneads, The Kitchen Co-Op (Linda Suter, Becky Kreider and myself) and Heather Theis. It took us two years to recruit the seven vendors we needed to start the market," she said.
