“It’s 9 a.m. Saturday and more than 300 tamales are steaming in two big steel kettles atop gas burners in the Las Margaritas Mexican food stall at the Bellingham Farmers Market.

Except for the roar of exploding kernels at the nearby kettle corn booth, the market is quiet. Farmers arrange their displays of plant starts alongside the meager vegetable offerings that a cold, wet June has produced. Craftspeople make small talk with neighbors. The first swarms of shoppers are still an hour away.”*
