An expanded Farmers Market starts up in June!
Our hard-working Farmers Market Committee is preparing for a longer and bigger market this year. Starting on June 16 and running straight through to September 15, the market will be held every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. adjacent to the Enderis Park Field House. An expanded group of vendors includes returning favorites such as:
Vang Sisters Hot Food,
Happy Destiny Farm,
NOLA Sweets,
That Salsa Lady,
Pete's Pops,
Mai Doua Vang Flowers,
Sandy Yang produce, and
Big Yellow Farmhouse. They will be here for most of the markets.
New vendors include:
Be Gluten Free with Me -- a local vendor selling home-baked, gluten-free goods.
OMJ Gardens from New Berlin - selling heirloom vegetables, honey, hive products, flowers, plant starts, pollinator plants, and doll quilts later in the season
JBC Pottery - a half-season vendor selling ceramic vessels
Bear's Bakery - a half-season vendor selling homemade dog treats and some cat treats
Sauce King - selling hot sauces, wing sauces and other food sauces and seasonings. And when the weather cools: body butters and beard oils.
Maggio's Wood-Fired Pizza -selling pizza, cheese bread, gluten-free breadsticks, water, sparkling water, and soda.
Additional vendors would be welcome. (For example, does anyone know someone who sells homemade cheese?) More volunteers are also needed."It's going to be a long, wonderful season and the committee could use more help," says Linda Tanner, who co-chairs the committee with Celeste Hallisey.
