Market Notes

Congratulations to Georgia who won the last basket draw of the 2018 season!  And she single handedly hauled her score home.

Yes folks, it’s that time of season where we come to an end.  Hope many will come on the last day to stock up on local vegetables – easy peasy with proper storage can last a few weeks for leafy greens and much longer for root vegetables.  Of course baked goods and breads can be frozen, or perhaps they’ll just be eaten up right away!  Several of our  vendors have winter deliveries and are available at some of the year round farmers’ markets.  Visit the ‘Market Purveyors’ website tab, click on the vendor name for their direct contact info.

The market is run by volunteers on a part-time seasonal basis.  After Oct. 30th, our emails are not monitored on a regular basis.

Here’s a great image of the market to hold you over till May 2019.  They’ll be one more post of our October Basket Draw winner to come!

Congratulations to Julia for being our September 2018 basket draw winner!  Such big smiles this brings.  Yes, she had someone with her to help carry it all home.  One more draw, Oct. 23rd!

We have two wonderful re-useable bag options at the market.  Both contribute to reducing plastics and encourage less waste.

1. $4 for a new re-useable cloth bag, with all proceeds going directly to  market operations. These come with custom illustrated market buttons!  Super cute.
2. and our free ‘leave a bag, take a bag program’. Donate your excess re-useable swag bags for folk that forget theirs. We can only accept clean (free of any food/pet residue for our allergen friends) bags.  No single use grocery plastic bags.

Congratulations to the seasons first basket draw winner!  Congratulations Sigrid.  Look at this happy face holding up the basket of bounty – all donated by our vendors.  There was even more goodies but she couldn’t hold it all for the photo.  Wow.  If this doesn’t give you motivation to shop and enter into Septembers draw….I don’t know what will ;-).

The Rules and Regs are in a previous post and available at market.  Main points: Spend over $20, must accept basket as presented and pick it up the following market day.  Easy peasy
