Farmer’s Market Opening Day

Saturday May 4th marks opening day of Downtown Rochester’s Farmer’s Market. I cannot wait! The more I educate myself on our food sources and how it’s grown or raised, the more I long to grow my own food. I have neither time nor patience (nor sun in my very shady backyard) to actually garden at my home. I also have zero interest in raising chickens or any other animal. The next best place to buy food is a local farmer’s market. I can actually talk with the farmers and ask all those important questions regarding how it’s grown, what pesticide is used (hopefully none!) and where it is grown.Farmers Market 1

There are some freebies to get your hands on this opening day. There will be free tote bags for the first 500 adult customers, a children’s scavenger hunt and pot-a-plant activity (great Mother’s Day gift), as well as the opportunity to win 1 of 20 $25 gift cards! Each child will also get a rubber duckie. So cute!

I’m really excited to see what’s in store for us this farmer’s market season! Checkout the vendor profiles at http://www.downtownrochestermi.com/events/farmers-market/vendor-profiles/ for more information on each vendor. I hope to see everyone down at E. Third and Water St. for the farmer’s market. It’s open every Saturday from 8am – 1pm.
