What’s the Market Up To?<br />
For those of you who haven’t had a chance to visit The Olde Towne Fenton<br />
Farmers Market, you still have time! This open air market is available to shop<br />
on Saturday’s from 8-1 p.m. and will be running through October 24th. The<br />
nice thing about the Farmers Market is that it continues to grow with both vendors<br />
and customers. A typical Saturday morning brings in numerous shoppers<br />
and one of the things that customers have remarked on is that the vendors are<br />
what truly make the shopping experience enjoyable. Kate Buemi (Farmers<br />
Market Supervisor) commented “The great prices you will find at our market<br />
and friendly exchange between vendors and customers make it a cheerful place<br />
to be. I agree, there’s a laid back, take your time and<br />
mosey about feel, at the market.<br />
I asked Kate what she thought attributed to the<br />
markets success this year. “Many of the customers<br />
that come thru comment on how great the atmosphere<br />
of our market is. The Olde Towne Pavilion is<br />
a covered pavilion and offers great lighting throughout.”<br />
Kate added, “Even on the most rainy day, customers<br />
can stay dry while shopping.” The market has<br />
had new vendors join this year as well and according to Kate new ones continue to participate.<br />
“Attendance has really picked up this season with the addition of new vendors and people<br />
becoming more aware of the market,” Kate commented. “This year we have several new<br />
vendors join the market that you will see on most Saturdays: 5 RAMS Star Kettle Korn, Tri-<br />
Point Farm, Sandy View Acres, White Family Homemade, Spoke N' Reed, Rose Bud<br />
Soapworks and Tower Garden. Of Course we have many favorites still at the market, such as<br />
Stuckmeyers, Two Men and a Garden, Palazzolo Farm Fresh Markets and Andy's Produce.”<br />
Don’t forget about the “live” entertainment on most Saturdays. In addition, various local<br />
nonprofits & community organizations often participate allowing customers a chance to learn<br />
something new and educate themselves on helpful topics. The Farmers Market is still accepting<br />
vendors and encourages restaurants/businesses to get involved with the market this fall. Bottom line, The Olde Towne Fenton Farmers<br />
Market makes it easy to eat and lead a healthy lifestyle by the foods and products available. You can stay informed on updates- vendors<br />
