The Marcellus Open Air Market opened Thursday, June 7, in Marcellus Park. Throughout the summer, the Eagle Observer will interview farmers and other vendors at the local market to find out what’s in season and what’s in store for the coming months.

Introducing: Travis North, of Anna’s Flowers and Vegetables in Marcellus.

What are you selling today?

“Local produce, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, squash, beans, peas and tomatoes.”

What makes your products unique?

“It comes from a background of many years of having the farm. We take pride in what we sell.”

How did you get started in this business?

“I got started in Anna’s Flowers because my sister worked there. So it just kind of passed down through the family.”

What attracted you to sell your goods at the Marcellus Open Air Market?

“To show people that the stores aren’t the best. When you get the fresh produce picked the night before or that morning, it’s a different quality.”

And why should people at the market stop by your booth?

“I think we’ve got the sweetest, the nicest fruit and vegetables that are out there.”

The Marcellus Open Air Market runs Thursdays 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
