Ogden Valley Open Market: Tomatoes, stories, medicinal plants, seeds, puppets, music and more! Nothing reminds us of summer like a vine-ripened tomato on a bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. But as popular as tomatoes are today, they had to fight their way onto America’s list of edibles. In the early 1800 hundreds, Americans would not touch tomatoes; they thought that they were poisonous. It wasn’t until 1820, when Colonel Robert Johnson announced that at noon on September 26 he would eat a bushel of the dreaded fruits, and two thousand people showed up for the event, that, to the crowd’s astonishment, he survived! This season at the Ogden Valley Open Market, people won’t be eating bushels of tomatoes, but there will be other fun and interesting things going on. The market will open July 3 with Maya Vautuitui singing the Star Spangled Banner. The first Thursday of July, August, and September, the Treehouse Museum will also be with us, with a theme and some children’s stories. July 3’s theme is Independence Day. August 7 will be fairies and princesses of all ages. And September 4, the theme will be numbers and geometry. Merry Harrison of Mill Creek Herbs LLC is putting together a medicinal plant walk. Merry is a trained clinical herbalist and a member of the American Herbalists Guild. If you are curious about the plants you see when you are out hiking, this is an event for you. She will also be at the market selling her products the day of the walk. You don’t want to miss out. More information will be forthcoming, but you can visit www.millcreekherbs.com to find out more about Merry and her work. Joseph Lofthouse is another person that we are excited to have visit the market. He will be coming to the market just once so you don’t want to miss him. Besides planting and growing, he develops, what he calls, land-race or land-adapted seeds. His seeds are developed to grow in the Northern Utah climate, and are resistant to the pests of this region (except deer). Look for Joseph in September; he will be bringing his seasonal produce as well as his seeds. Joseph has an active and interesting face book page that is worth checking out. The Brigham City Puppet Museum will be coming to the market this year, too. Puppet maker Susan Neider will be charming us with her talent and skill making her puppets come alive, and telling their stories. The date is still to be announced. We are excited about this upcoming season. There are lots of fun activities and interesting people scheduled to come and share their skills Pictured above are Harold and Opal Probasco and their 5 children: from left, Judy, Buck, Kirk, and talents.
