MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT!
We dipped our toe in the water and learned it’s still too cold to swim! First and foremost, we would like to THANK our vendors and customers for supporting this initial change. Unfortunately, attendance on Fridays was not enough to support having this additional Market day.
We would like to highlight that we tried our best marketing efforts through additional channels such as post cards, communication with adjacent businesses in the community, and interviews with the local media, but attendance remained low.
At this time we would like to focus on our current customer base who is telling us their preferred market days are on the weekend. Starting December 3rd, the Downtown Farmers Market will be open Saturdays 9-3, and Sundays 11-3.
The last FRIDAY MARKET DAY will be NOVEMBER 25!
We are constantly trying to find ways to make our market better and will continue to do so to provide our vendors and customers the best Farmers Market experience possible.
Thank you again for supporting local! ❤️
