Manager: Bebe Williams - bebe@artcomic.com
Open Thursdays from 3-7pm. Saturdays from 9am until 12noon.
There will be no Farmer's Market on Saturday July 4th.
We are ten weeks into our farmer's market season here in Scottsville, Virginia,
I know I told you that we would be under the new structure starting June 24th, 2009, but we have some minor final touches to do inside the building before the vendors can go under the roof. So,............we will start in our new building on Saturday, June 26th at 8am (hours we are officially open are from 9am until 12Noon.).
The vendors will load into the building in a first-come-first-served basis for the mean time. The manager's table area is the extreme NE corner of the building, that is the reserved area and the vendors will not be in that spot. Each bay is big enough for 1.1/2 vendors and the idea will be to share in that way as we progress. In the middle of the building, there is enough space to house two rolls of vendors (along with 2 rolls of vendors spaces.).
There will be no graded parking area up to the building yet, the gravel will be ordered soon.
What do we have for sale? Fresh organic produce. Home-grown produce. Pork and Lamb. Golden and Rainbow Trout. Baked breads. Baked goods. Pies, cakes, cookies, more. Blueberries. Home cooked Indian food. Jams, Jellies, other canned goods treats. Alpaca products. Llama products. Art. Art services. Massage. Plants. Postcards. Painted tiles. Birdhouses. Wood items. Rocks. Stones. Jewelry. Soap. Compost. Flowers. Knives. Knitted items. Eggs.
Grand opening celebration is Saturday, July 25th. The Second Annual Tomato Festival is Saturday, July 25th. Two events in one. Vendor spaces are Limited to 48 vendors. Spread the word.
This Fridays concert at Friday After 5:45 is Zen Daddy (rock) and also Carney and the Workers. (jazz funk freeform and wild) - Canal Basin Square.
