Farmer’s Market

FARMINGTON — Due to renewed interest  in customers and vendors, the Farmington Grange has decided to continue the Winter Farmers Market on an altered schedule.  Starting Feb 8, the Market will meet on EVEN dates, on Saturdays; in essence, every other Saturday.  The times will be the same, 10-1.  Due to agreement with the post office, we have more parking available this year, next to the hall, during market hours.  When the post office closes at 11, even more parking spaces are available.  It should be noted that vendors need to bring their products in before 10, so people should not count on parking close to the building before 10.

Some vendors have decided to take the rest of the winter off, but new vendors have joined.  Anyone wishing to be a vendor at the market should contact Bonnie Clark at 778-1416.  Child vendors are encouraged to participate at no fee. Root vegetables are still available, frozen vegetables, cheesecakes, all types of meats and poultry, fresh eggs, pickles, jams, sauces, syrups, dried herbs, etc. Baked goodies, breads and sweets. Medicinal items, soaps, lotions, baskets, crafts, fiber art, and much , much more. There is free coffee and tea, board games are available, the fires are roaring, and plenty of good socializing.  Please join us.  The Farmington Grange Hall is located at 124 Bridge Street in West Farmington, just across the bridge from Main Street, to the right.
