Farmers Market is Opening!!

If we have learned anything during this COVID-19 quarantine and pandemic it is the importance of food safety, security, and availability. The best thing we can do is buy local, buy small. Many people have started a garden this year for the first time, others are expanding their gardens.

There is a good possibility you may have extra produce. Why not bring it to the Elmwood Park on Saturday mornings? Get out and see people, socially distancing of course, and make a little extra money.

If you are like me you usually buy items from other vendors and it's really a trade. BUT, it was a great way to earn a little side money also.

We have even started a Facebook group and it will be a great place for both vendors and shoppers to stay connected.

So far we have been hearing people are looking for

Eggs

Honey

Cinnamon Rolls

Muffins

Jelly/Jam

If you have any of the above please consider stopping by on Saturday mornings at 8:00 am. There is no commitment to stay the whole time. Stay until you sell out. Which may only be an hour in some cases.
