Plans in the Works for 2nd Season

Blustery cold weather doesn't prompt thoughts of fresh, locally grown produce for most people. However, it's a perfect time to think about how best to improve the "fresh" experiences at the Farmers Market on North 1st Street.

So while we have ideas of what we liked, we'd really like your opinions. What did you like? What didn't you like? What was your favorite item to buy? What item was missing from the vendors' selections?

  1. Hi,
    I'm looking forward to the First Street Market this year! Are you looking for ideas to grow the market? Would you consider a suggestion or two?

    Perhaps you could change the day you hold the market. Many of the vendors that sell at larger markets on Saturdays are busy preparing on Thursdays. Tuesdays might be a more convenient day because it would allow them to pick and sell vegetables twice per week.

    A second suggestion would be to contact the vendors that don't currently sell at your market that you would like to have. You could ask them to suggest changes you can make that would make it more attractive or convenient for them.

    Thanks!
