Farmers Market will be closed Sunday December 29th, reopens on January 5th.

It's been a whirlwind year at the farmers market (just like the previous three years)!  So sad I won't see you before the end of the year but looking forward to your smiling faces on January 5th.

In spite of losing some funding for the market, our community came out and supported our first ever farmers market fundraiser!  We were able to raise enough funds to keep the market running through 2014.  Thank you so much for your help and support volunteers, party attendees, and neighbors!

We also received support from St. Elmo's Village Artist Colony to keep providing musicians at the market on a weekly basis.  If you aren't familiar with St. Elmo's, it's a beautiful organization located on St. Elmo just west of Rimpau.  They have been offering art classes for children and adolescents for 44 years!

On January 5th, we will host a series of different gourmet food trucks along Washington Blvd, just in front of the farmers market.  Kathy found a "food truck broker" who is happy to find just the right mix of breakfast and lunch trucks to bring some new excitement to our farmers market.

Happy New Year all!
