Hankering for homegrown
Demand for local fruits, veggies means benefit for area growers

...The downtown farmer's market in York, which opened in April and is newly organized this year, features a broader array of locally produced items, from produce to crafts and honey.
"Originally, there were a lot of homemade items, home-grown or handmade," said the market's organizer, Signa Curry. "Now that the produce is starting to come in, it's a real combination of a lot of different things."
They include local honey, homemade soaps, free-range eggs, some crafts and a lot of herbs, she said. "So many gardeners have told me, 'As soon as our gardens are in, we will be there.'"
In the right place, such markets can be a thriving hub for the community, said Curry, who is focusing on growing and expanding the market.
"It's a popular thing over the last couple of years with the market to feature some extra things, because of the cottage industry, people are making things from home," she said.
Some examples at the York market include organic pet food, homespun knitted purses and hats and gourmet spices and teas. "It's the community's market," she said.
