Farmers Market Opens May 15th
Farmers Market opens for the season on Friday May 15, 2009, at 5:00 PM. We will be located in Main Street Square.
At the early markets expect to find vendors offering honey, plants, eggs, fresh asparagus, rhubarb, green onions, lettuce, radishes, and your favorite baked goods. Several new vendors again have signed on for the season and most of your favorite returning vendors plan to be there.
For the fourth year Iowa Farm Bureau has provided plastic grocery sacks for our vendors to use free of charge. This is a big help to us and a rather large expense for them. We thank them for their support!
More produce will become available as the season progresses and the weather gets warmer. Tuesday markets will begin on Tuesday June 2, 2009, and will run through Tuesday September 29th. We plan to have two Saturday Markets –June 20th, as part of the JUNKET IN JUNE for Specialty Shops and September 12th in connection with the Specialty Shops FALL OPEN HOUSE.
Our market accepts Senior Nutrition Program Checks and WIC/Farmers Market Checks, but only by vendors who have taken the training to participate and are identified by the program signs at their booth. We also have two vendors who have the Food Stamp Machine and can accept Food Stamps and Credit Cards. Only those two vendors are allowed to sell with credit or accept Food Stamps.
This will be our 28th season. Join us for the fun and fresh food!
