Are you supporting your local Farmer's Market?  You should be.  I intend to go again this morning.

Summer Fun at the Market!

Cooking Demonstrations, Recipe-Cooking Contest,
Kids Activities

The Janesville Farmer's Market has Summer activities scheduled for most Saturdays!

Join the JFM Cooking Demonstrations every second Saturday of the month. Area cooks will show you how to cook produce and goods found at the JFM.

Every third Saturday, show off your creative cooking skills at the Market's Recipe-Cooking Contest. Each month's Contest features a different theme, based on seasonal ingredients: June-Strawberries; July-Corn; August-Tomatoes; September-Potatoes; and October-Soups or Stews. Contest Rules and Entry Form are here.

Finally, every fourth Saturday of the month is Kids' Activity Day. Bring the kids and let them discover the various activities waiting for them throughout the Market!

Join us every Saturday for a summer of great farmer's market goods, activities, and fun. Come celebrate the Janesville community!

 Stop by and support your local area!

Julie, Good idea.  Our market is just ten years old but now has doubled to another location in Naples.  I see many friends and clients on Sat. Thanks.

Good post. We have a Saturday farmers market in Kentlands. They were setting up as I passed on my morning walk. Have a great weekend.

WHB Farmers MarketAre there any Realtors out there that actually volunteer with the administration or organization of there local farmers market. Woould love to hear back from you. I'm the Vice-President of the local Greater Westhampton Chamber of Commerc. This year we have taken over the administration of the Westhampton Beach Farmers Market from the local Historical Society. Boy... it's a lot of work and planning, but it is definitely a wonderful community attraction. It doesn't hurt for your customers and clients to see the wonderful things that their Realtor does for the community.

For the last five years it was run for 24 Saturdays from June until November. We have added 12 weeks to the program this year and are filling up the vendor spaces quickly!

I can't wait to eat a tomatoe that actually doesn't taste like aluminum foil.
