Thursday is Farmers' Market day! For September 11, 2014, veggies are in full tilt boogie mode! Come fill your shopping bags and baskets with the fruits of our farmers' labor!
Once again our market will sound like an Old World market with real Italian village dance music as Marie DiCocco & Celest DiPietropaolo return to the music tent. For more information check out their website: http://www.italianvillagedance.com/whoarewe.htm
A big thank you to SunCommon our music sponsors this week. Please take a moment to stop by their information table to thank them for their support of the market.
If you are planning on doing some canning, talk to your farmers today - many of them will have large quantities of canning vegetables at the market tomorrow anyway - but you can always contact them and make sure - the market is a great place to meet to get a special delivery from one of our vendors. You can also talk to them tomorrow at the market if you'd like to pre-order something for next week.
Jericho Farmers market runs through October 2nd this year, but that means only 4 more market days. Now is the time to start thinking about stocking up on locally made gifts from our craft vendors for your fall and winter gift giving. Here is an idea for a really unique gift for the folks you know who "have everything". Give them a piece of Vermont - how about looking around the market and creating a few gift boxes of gifts from our vendors. Canned goodies, Maple treats, Maple syrup, Vermont grown wool or knitted items, wooden bowls or spoons, gift certificates for the 2015 Jericho Farmers Market (can be redeemed by any vendor).
If you haven't been to the market in a while, please stop by - we have a lot of new vendors for the end of the season! And just this week (9/11/14) and next (9/18/14) King Girls Bread will be returning to the market!
I almost forgot! GLADIOLAS!!! Phil Pelkey creates the Unique Bird Houses that delight you at the market, but Kate Pelkey creates their home garden that inspired his bird house adventures. Kate has been bringing her beautiful gladiolas, stop by to buy a few to grace your table! They are amazing and I've found they last for weeks sometimes... that burst of color on the dining room table is a delight day after day. (Go to the Jericho Farmers' Market at Mills Riverside Park page on facebook to see a picture from last weeks' market. If you do go to FB to look at the photo, please take a moment and share the post below it on our page -the one about the market for tomorrow - help us reach a whole new group of folks - YOUR friends.)
Thanks neighbors!
