Aug. 8: National Farmers’ Market Week
Our farmers’ market is one of nine being spotlighted by the Minnesota Farmers’ Market Association, Minnesota Grown, Minnesota Farmers Union and Land Stewardship Project. We’ll have “I §️ MN Farmers’ Markets” temporary tattoos, “Love Farm Families” stickers, a drawing for three prizes, various freebie treats and gift items.
We’re also inviting community decision makers and supporters to visit. One of our local elected representatives will read the Governor’s Proclamation for National Farmers’ Market Week to the community and present it to our farmers’ market.
For kids’ (and kids at heart): a scavenger hunt; Avon Hills Folk School; arts and crafts with Lisa Wallin; music with Merritt Bussiere. Listen to vintage tunes, country folk music and originals as you explore goods from our local growers and artisans.
We’ve been a place to gather to buy good local food and farm products, and build relationships for 25 years. Want to know more? Visit stjosephfarmersmarket.com.
