Michelle Obama Graces White House Farmer’s Market
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 21st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Politicians.
The White House Farmer’s Market opened this weekend and drew a good crowd, even during the rain and cold, according to grist.com.
First Lady Michelle Obama made an appearance and was happy the turnout was so good.
“I’ve never seen so many people so excited about fruits and vegetables!” Michelle said.
Wonder if anyone asked her to sign a carrot?
“A farmer’s market is not just about vegetables, it’s about community,” Michelle added.
The First Lady was the first customer and chose produce from The Farm at Sunnyside, an organic producer from Rappahannock, Virginia.
No mention of Mr. Obama attending the Farmer’s Market.
Maybe he was out for another burger run.
The Farmer’s Market will run until October 29.

That’s beautiful.
A national leader promoting a healthy and sustainable planet.
And a nice plug for Sunnyside Farm, too. 🙂
