In a nod to our farmers and to reignite the excitement within our community, our cherished Farmer’s Market will be on Thursdays, bidding farewell to Saturdays. This decision promises to reignite the magic of market days and reinvigorate our sense of local pride.
While the Saturday market undoubtedly brought its own charm and convenience, it also sparked a longing for the familiar rhythms of Thursdays – the anticipation of midweek shopping, the camaraderie of seeing familiar faces, and the joy of connecting with local producers. We have many community partners who have availability on Thursdays that can add activities, demonstrations and resources to the Farmer’s Market vibe.
Thursdays will still allow them to reconnect with loyal customers and reignite the sense of camaraderie that defines our market community. It provides an opportunity to showcase their goods in a familiar setting and rekindle the personal relationships that have been forged over years of shared market days. Thursdays will also allow our vendors to grow their businesses by having the availability to attend other markets as well and, in return, growing their commerce.
As we prepare to embark on this journey on Thursdays, let us do so with a sense of reverence for the past and excitement for the future. The Farmer’s Market remains not just a place to buy and sell goods, but a living, breathing testament to the resilience and vibrancy of our community.
So, mark your calendars and spread the word: Thursdays will be synonymous with the sights, sounds, and flavors of our beloved Farmer’s Market. Together, let us embrace this return to tradition and celebrate the enduring spirit of our community.
