In 1984,a “farmers market”consisted of some peaches,apples and cherries that the typical American might have considered as overpriced.But Rankin drew customers charmed by his huge smile and agricultural knowledge.He remembered to set aside things you asked for,would cash your check if you needed bills and gave your 10-year-old child his or her first job.
The people who came to Saturday’s market sang to Rankin,presented him with poems about his influence on their lives and told stories of good deeds he had done for them.
Many described coming to Rankin’s market as a routine in their lives.
Rankin said he is retiring because he wants to spend more time traveling to see his children and a sister back in Ireland.The children of one of Rankin’s partners are taking over Twin Springs.
He has a “fantasy,”he said,of using his knowledge to help fruit-growers elsewhere in the world.
He has faith that others can keep the Woodley Park market going,that the role of a farmers market is now established.
