THIS WEEKEND AT THE MARKETS
Highlights, Vendors, Events and more. Downtown and Sunset Valley - Sat, Sept 19 |
| |
Markets are open this weekend! To keep our vendors, staff and customers safe, we request everyone wear a face covering or mask while in the market area. Please visit our website to learn more about our safety measures.
SUNSET VALLEY: Springfield Farm and Byccombe Natural Solutions take farm to table very seriously. First select your weekly veggies from their fresh squash and carrots on the table, then keep heading down the line to peruse the goats milk soaps and beeswax candles. The bees live on their property and help pollinate their fields, while they use their own goats milk to make sudsy soaps, salves and lip balms for your sensitive skin.
DOWNTOWN: Have yourself a very French weekend this Saturday when you shop at the downtown market. Julie Myrtille Bakery will be onsite with tartlets, almond croissants, and croque monsieur sandwiches ready to delight when you get home. For the rest of your walking around the market vibes pick up a bouquet of flowers from Cassiopeia Farm and let them drape, romantically, out of your reusable market tote. Voila!
SFC Farmers' Market match SNAP, WIC and FMNP benefits with Double Up Food Bucks! Visit our website for more information on which vendors will be at market, what products are in season, and more. |
