There are so many great new events and programs planned that this year looks like it will be very good for vendors and customers. Be sure to check out the Taste of the Market at 12:30 on Thursdays when manager George whips up a scrumptious snack from what the vendors are offering that week. Last week it was a buffalo brisket sandwhich with goat cheese and broccoli rabe. It’s still early in the season, pre-season really.

something else i learned is that the farmers market has lots of advertising lined up and promo stuff, but cannot move on much of it until the city passes a budget. until then they can’t access funds for those things…
