The Farmers' Market will take place from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through October in the Pilgrim Congregational Church parking lot, 460 Lake St., one block west of Ridgeland Avenue.
New this season, the market will feature a children's activity the last Saturday of every month. This Saturday, Laura Troyer-Joy and her trusty sidekick from Wonder Works Children's Museum will offer free face painting for kids from 8 a.m. to noon.
In addition to a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers, bedding plants, honey, cheese, frozen meat, bread and baked goods the Market also features donuts made on-site, fresh coffee and live bluegrass music. Regional vendors will feature sustainable, organic and locally sourced goods again this season, including several heirloom products.
To help support Market administration, a variety of items will be sold at the information tent, including reusable shopping bags, t-shirts and travel mugs. Non-profit bake sales will be offered each Saturday as well as occasional cooking demonstrations featuring chefs from local restaurants. A majority of the vendors now accept credit/debit cards as well as Link cards.
