No rain 3 weeks in a row. That has to be a record.
No rain on a Wednesday. My goodness. Lots of vendors at today's market
This week's market will include the monthly visit from Franklin County Home Care along with a representative from the new community gardens in Turners Falls.
Over the past few years we have had a few vendors selling unusual items but today we have someone planning to sell compost which I hear is some pretty good SH-T.
Opening Day
Today is the final farmers market of the season. Figures it would rain.
Geezes Two weeks in a row with nice weather for the Farmers Market. That is a record for this year. Vendors start setting up about 1:00 pm and stay until 6;00 pm. However if you want some of Marge's baked goods you got to get the buy 4:45. She is usually sold out by then.
Finally great weather for the farmers market. There is eggs, beef, jack-o-lantern pumpkins, fresh veggies and fruit along with baked goods and a back massage. The market will be going until 6;00 pm.
The Community Health Center of Franklin County, Montague City, will be providing free health care information and doing blood pressure checks at the August 11th Great Falls Farmers Market located at the corner of Avenue A and 2nd Street in Turners Falls in celebration of National Health Week
The Gill/Montague Bridge has gone one way but the market is still at the corner of 2nd and Avenue A. If you are coming or going from any direction besides route 2 then the one way bridge will have no effect on you getting to the market. If you are coming from the Gill side then you will have to go home over the White bridge and cut through Greenfield. If you come to the market as far away as Erving, which I know folks do, then you will have to go home via Millers Falls.
Fresh picked corn on the cob from Hadley is available while the supply last
Can this really be happening. A Wednesday market with no rain forecast for this afternoon.
A few words from Bucking Bull Farm.
Even with the chance of lousy weather there are vendors selling plants, strawberries, preserves, beading crafts and yes a chair massage.
Great Falls on Sunday
If the weather turns out to be nice the Market might have a surprise or two for Wednesday, June 9 th and Sunday June 13th. Along with a great assortment of plants from many vendors, in season produce, Marge's famous sticky buns, Skinny Man's homemade breads, Dawn's Crafts, Firefly's egg, and Peter's jams we could have entertainment and chair massages. Yes you read that correct.
The Great Falls Farmers Market has 13 vendors presently set up So stop on by and also visit the Deerfield Valley Arts building right behind the market.
It is suppose to be 90 degrees on Wednesday for the Great Falls Farmers Market. Imagine that, a Wednesday that doesn't rain. Starting a 2pm on the corner of 2nd Street and Avenue A. in Turners Falls.
Today is the first day of the Monday Market from 3 - 7pm in front of the Montague Grange. Local farms offering eggs, greens, wool, and heirloom vegetable starts will kick off the first market of the season. This market is open during library hours, and is looking for vendors. Watch us grow!
A set of keys was left at the Great Falls Farmers Market on Wednesday, May 19th. If you lost your keys call Don Clegg at 413-336-3648 and describe them to me.
The Great Falls Farmers Market on the corner of Avenue A and 2nd street is always on Wednesdays and always rain or shine. New hours are from 2 to 6:00 pm.
Thank you to the ten vendors that set up today and all the customers. And lets not forget to say thank you to the 8 Sheffield School students who played a lot of songs on the instruments they have been practicing on this school year. After the students left customers and vendors were chatting about how great it is to see the students having fun playing in front of a crowd. Steve Damon has promised to bring the students back to the market.
Fifth grade students from Sheffield School are planning on coming to the farmers market at about 4:00 pm and play a variety of instruments. Students played at the market last year and it was a whole lot of fun.
