It's the right time of the year to fire up the grill, so stock up for your Fourth of July cookout with garlic scapes, steaks, sausages, kimchi ketchup, greens for the salad, and something for dessert, all grown or made local and all available at the Bennington Farmers' Market.

Yoga before the market will return; the session begins at 9:30 in the glen by the duck pond.

We'll also have live music from Brattleboro-based Aura Shards (https://www.facebook.com/AuraShardsVT/) to enjoy while you shop.

Parking is available across from Tastee Freeze or in the lots in front of and behind the chamber of commerce building.

Also, America's Farmland Trust is asking you to vote for your favorite farmers market, with a $2,500 prize for the winning market! https://markets.farmland.org (Hint: Your favorite market is the one bringing you fresh and local food every Saturday right here in Bennington 😃 )
