Looking for fresh!
According to about.com “Definition: A farmers market (a.k.a. greenmarket) is a place where farmers sell their products directly to consumers. Ultra-fresh produce, pastured meat and eggs, artisan cheeses, hand-harvested honey, and other fresh, small-batch foodstuffs are the hallmark (and benchmark) of the best farmers markets.”

Telling the story of Fighting Falcon Glider located in

More facts from their website –
From Refrigerators to Gliders in 6 Months
*Reprinted from a 1944 newspaper article
Playing tag with the clouds and taking free rides on the wind currents in a glider has been recognized for years as a fascinating and sporting adventure. Today, the glider is no longer merely the happy fun-craft of a few sportsman. It has swapped its gay colors for war paint, and has become a stealthy weapon of war. Gliders tell no tales of their approach. Fleets of them bearing men and guns on whispering wings can he towed over enemy lines while it is still dark, and released at high altitudes to swish down upon objectives at dawn. More information
