Market Manager- Freddie Hickman
Freddie’s is the smiling face that will greet you at the market, tell you what is going on at the market today or next week, what produce is available and where to find it. He is the man with the answers, look him up at the market and say hello.
Glenna Thomas, Concessions Sales
Glenna has been with the market almost since its inception. Please stop by and see what Glenna has cookin’ each morning at the market. She is usually serving up fresh baked biscuits with sausage, jellies, fresh picked tomatoes, or just a nice pat of butter. She also has hot fresh-brewed coffee or a nice ice cold drink for those hot mornings at the market.
What Are You Growing In Your Back Yard?
The State Street Farmers Market would like to invite anyone interested in being a vendor at the Market this season to join in. If you think just because you don't have a farm you can't participate as a vendor you are ....wrong! A small garden that is all you need.
We are also looking for artisans and crafters.
If you have any questions or are in doubt about anything you would like to sell at the market, please don't hesitate to contact us at 764-1879. We look forward to seeing you at the Market this season. Oh, and don't forget about our 10th Anniversary Cook Book that will be available for purchase. You wouldn't want to miss out on all the local recipes from many different generations.
Knowing where your food comes from means you can find out how it's grown, whether the farmer uses pesticides, and if so what kind. Buying local foods from local farmers means you're not paying extra for your food to be shipped in from Californina, Florida or Mexico. Plus you're supporting your local economy.
It's food you can feel good about.
It's summer time, and an abundance of fresh local food is available at your favorite farmers markets. But did you know every hour we're losing 125 acres of farm and ranch land? Spiking fuel prices and the ever-present threat of development are pressuring America's farmers adn ranchers.
Fortunately, farmers markets, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) farms, food cooperatives, and even your local foodshed all have one thing in common; they all require healthy local farm and ranch land to be part of the local food solution. That's why supporting farmers markets and local farms is more important than ever!
