Farmers’ Luncheon

New Market, VA

These folks were at a restaurant table near mine. I guessed they were probably farmers. Then one of them gave a short speech and said he regards the others as friends, not just poultry producers. I assume he was their sales rep for a supplier, and that they have occasional lunch meetings to talk about the business.

The Shenandoah Valley produces substantial amount of poultry. I was not paying much attention to what they ordered, although I heard one man say he wanted a cheeseburger, which is kind of amusing since this restaurant is known for its fried chicken. I suppose you might lose your appetite for chicken if you deal with it every day.
