Farmers’ Market ends season this Saturday

0

It’s that time again….the Fayette County Farmers’ Market will mark the end of its 2016 Saturday season with a “customer appreciation day.”

We invite our patrons and friends to drop in and enjoy some complimentary hot mulled cider and cinnamon roll bites as we reminisce. A big thank-you goes to the City of Washington Court House for the use of the municipal parking lot and also to Gamma White of Sunshine Laundry for the use of their facilities.

Kudos to our many fine vendors and our market volunteers, Debra Grover, Hilda Downs, and Mary Chrisman. They all work very hard every week to bring you some of the best produce and value-added products Fayette County has to offer. See you in 2017!

Are you interested in participating in a CSA program next year? Ask Jon and Taylor Jones of Jones Farm Fresh Produce about their CSA program for 2017. A Community Supported Agriculture program (CSA) is a convenient way to bring fresh local fruits and vegetables to your table on a weekly basis during the growing and harvesting season.

The following list contains the names and products of the vendors that expect to set up for the Saturday Market. The market is open every Saturday morning from 8:30 to noon and is located in the municipal parking lot on the corner of South Main and East East streets.
