Greetings!
Bedding plantsMother's Day weekend is the perfect time to visit the Farmers Market!  It's too easy to get mom something from the mass retailers.  Be original and find her some unique art or specialty food items right here in your own back yard.

Come this Saturday and Sunday from 6:30am - 1:30pm for locally grown bedding plants and hanging baskets and a wonderful assortment of products you won't find anywhere else. 

Treat mom to a special Market day with you!
 Music at the Market with Dean Brewington
We have an entire season of entertainment lined up for you!

Dean Brewington


Join us this weekend to hear a local Jazz artist who has been playing for over 60 years.  Dean was in the film Factotum with Matt Dillon, the Great Gatsby at the Guthrie Theater, and is now appearing in several commercials.    But you can see him live right here at the Farmers Market Annex!

Check our website What's Going On page for a calendar of events and entertainment ~ Bookmark it and visit often, we promise to keep it updated! 
Sunday Artist Alley and Craftsmen Corner
It was just too cold last Sunday for the artists to come out and play ~ but we fully expect them this weekend with a lot of beautiful things for Mother's Day!

New Craftsmen Bob and George will be right off the main aisle with their beautiful wood-turned objects, and Fursace with dog collars and hair accessories for people will be right across from them.  Susan with Greenware Creations will be displaying her beautiful beaded serving pieces and other art, and next to her will be Derick Greene with his wonderful photography.

Papa Fierro will have Morel Mushrooms and Smoked Duck this weekend!
Papa Fierro
Morel Mushroom season is upon us ~ just barely!  The weather has made hunting them that much more difficult this year, which means the rewards of finding them readily accessible right here at the Market are all that much sweeter!

Add to that smoked duck and a recipe card for you to take home and the day is just about perfect.  So look for the blue tent by the Massage Hut and be sure to check it out.
