Featured Farmer: Ruf Acres Farm
John Besse, owner of Ruf Acres Farm, has been selling at the market fair for three years. John and his employee, Ramon, have stated “We learned that everywhere family is implicated you will find simple, healthy, natural, delicious food and nourishment; therefore, we treat our plants as part of our family.”
The farm can be found in rural Faribault, and at the market they sell tomatoes, maple syrup, strawberries, greens, mixed vegetables, and herbs. More information on the farm and what they sell can be found at www.rufacresfarm.com
Featured Artist: Kathy Miller of K Miller Watercolors
Kathy’s path to becoming a watercolor painter has taken her many places. It began in her childhood home of Falcon Heights where she developed a passion for the arts at a young age. “I have vivid memories of spending hour upon hour in my very own drawing studio – a backyard tent made from blankets draped over the clothesline, with a do not disturb sign pinned to the opening.” Kathy’s passion for art has never yielded. It can be observed in her paintings this Saturday at Riverwalk Market Fair.
Her watercolor paintings reflect the beauty of nature that she sees around the U.S. More information about Kathy and her paintings can be found at www.kmillerwatercolors.com
Featured Artist: Zach Stadler Photography
Zach is back at the Riverwalk Market Fair this year selling his surreal, vibrant, and adventure based photography that he has collected from his travels around the world.
Over the past several years Zach has been able to travel to some of the most exotic places in the world. Through those travels he has developed a passion for the ocean and found photography to be the best way to portray his surreal experiences. www.zachstadler.com
