Hello Market Shoppers!

Next Saturday, April 25th from 10am to 11am, will be our last winter market.  Our regular season will begin on May 9th with our regular hours from 9am to 1pm! We will send a newsletter in early May with information about opening day.

Several shoppers emailed me to inquire about our "Market Friends" volunteer program.  We have many opportunities ranging from  helping with children's activities, manning the market table, distributing flyers, helping with setup and takedown, to taking photos at the market.  If you have an idea or special skill and would like to help us at the market, please email Liz Andersen at broadwaterfarm@mac.com.  We will have sign up information at the market tent during our regular markets.

During the winter markets, farmers choose their own method of selling; some bring only pre-ordered items while others bring a variety of products for sale on a first-come-first-served basis.  In the sections below you can find the product and order information for each producer.

Don't forget to read this email to see what is available, make your list, contact the farmers to place your orders, and then come to our regular location between 10 am and 11 am on Saturday to pick up your delicious, local food.  You might even see your neighbors and market friends!

Helpful Hint:  This newsletter is packed with information.  You can click on a vendor's name on the sidebar to go directly to his or her product list.


Please forward this email to friends and family that you think may be interested in signing up for our email list so they can participate in our special Winter Markets. (There is a link all the way at the bottom of the email to forward it -- thanks!)
