MARKET TIME AROUND THE CORNER

 Even though it is only January, many are already starting to get ready for the upcoming market time.  With many questions and ideas floating around we are calling a meeting for all vendors interested in selling at the Willard Community Farmers’ Market.  The meeting will be held at the Willard Middle School Library on Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 5:00 P.M.  Items of business include: membership, updates to rules, how to lower dues, advertisement, building up vendor and customer base, and monthly FM events, etc.  We look forward to seeing you at this meeting so we can plan together a great year!!

The Willard Community Garage Sale is this weekend so we are hoping for a big turn out at the Farmer’s Market.  We invite everyone out to experience the Willard Community Farmer’s Market!  Come out to meet the great vendors and enjoy the outstanding products they have to offer. 

Here’s To A Great Start

The start of the market has been great. We have an average of 6 vendors a week and plenty of customers. Many of the customers are excited about the produce that will be available soon. At this time we have lots of hanging baskets, bedding plants, jams, jellies, breads, cookies, radishes, lettuce, eggs, and tomatoes. We also had a drop in vendor this week that sold out of strawberries in the first two hours.

Opening Day Saturday, May 3, 2008

New Market Coming May 2008

We are excited to announce the opening of a new Farmers’ Market in Willard, Missouri. The Willard Community Farmers’ Market will be held every Saturday afternoon from 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M. at 517 E. New Melville from May through October.  The market time was selected to allow farmers already in area markets in the morning hours an opportunity to participate.  The object of this farmers market is to encourage local producers from Missouri to supply fresh, healthful, and attractive foods/plants for local customers.   

  

The Willard Community Farmers’ Market is a member of Missouri Farmers’ Market Association and Agri Missouri.  Through these programs we will have valued benefits to ensure customer awareness of this market.  Several other avenues of promoting the market are underway and we would encourage you to help in this endeavor.  

  

Check out the rules and regulations that have been established for the market.   If you are interested in becoming a member, please call or e-mail Amy Sims, Market Master.  We would love to have you as valued members of this market.  Working together we can make this a success for your farm.
