Tuesday Farmers Markets begin on Tuesday, June 2, 2009, from 5-7 PM in Main Street Square. Customers should expect to find onions, radishes, spinach, lettuce, asparagus, rhubarb, lots of baked goods and plants. Peas and strawberries should be coming later in June. One baked goods vendor is specializing in diabetic baked goods as an added attraction this summer.
For a list of participating vendors and what they offer go to the extension web site at www.extension.iastate.edu and click on the Franklin county site. Vendors are on our Farmers Market site with phone numbers, addresses, and e-mails, if available.
Remember, vendors will now be available on Tuesday night as well as Friday night. Come early to the Tuesday night band concert to see what we have! Announcements of new produce available will be made over the radio and in promotional articles throughout the season. Or customers may call Franklin County Extension, 456-4811 and ask for Barb to learn what is available or what vendors might be selling a product.
We will have several special Saturday Markets this year beginning with Junket in June. Some vendors will be on Main Street Square from 9:30 to 12:00 on Saturday June 20, 2009. Saturday markets will continue with August 15, 2009 as part of Summer Fest and Saturday September 12, 2009 as part of the Fall Open House for the Specialty Shops. We are considering an indoor market for November 7 and December 5 as part of down town activities associated with the Holidays.
