If you’re going to live in an area that provides a plentiful bounty of great things grown in the fields and orchards surrounding the region, then it only makes sense to make plans to regularly visit the amazing Farmers Market from St. Joseph Today.
However, going to the downtown Farmers Market is not longer limited to the treat of selecting your own ripe, succulent fruits and vegetables. At least not in St. Joseph, where the first Farmers Market kicks off Saturday May 27 from 9am – 2pm and will include the sale of jams, honey, hearth-baked breads and fine pastries, perennials, cut flowers, organic vegetables and more.
The 2017 Farmers Market is sponsored by The Boulevard Inn & Bistro. Executive Chef Cheyenne Galbraith says, “We are excited to work with local growers to spotlight the amazing produce coming from our region’s spectacular farms.”
Farmers Markets have grown in popularity as the demand for fresh, locally sourced produce and goods has increased. Amy Zapal, Executive Director of St. Joseph Today suggests, “Take the time to chat with vendors who will share recipes, planting recommendations and cooking tips.” The Farmers Market will be open Saturdays May 27 thru October 14, 9:00am – 2:00pm and is located along Lake Bluff Park between Broad and Pleasant Streets.
Zapal also notes that market-goers should plan to visit with several friends since the number of people attending this weekly event has continued to grow over the last few years. “It’s a Saturday tradition!”
