End of September Market Day

Atchison  Farmers’ MarketFresh, Friendly, LocalOpen through October 28Market E-Newsletter, Saturday, September 30, 20178 a.m.– noon The Saturday market should be beautiful - produce galore and lovely weather. Vendors still have summer produce (corn, tomatoes, and more) and autumn vegetables and fruit (pumpkins, apples, and more), locally raised meat and flour, plus coffees and baked goods. Visit with your friends and the vendors while shopping the Market. Very Important: If you support the Atchison Farmers' Market area getting a shelter built with funds from the Star Bond, please come to the Mercantile Ballroom on the main level of the Atchison Event Center on Monday, October 2nd, at 6 p.m. The Town Hall meeting will be an informational session for Atchison residents to learn more about the City's proposed STAR Bond project. The session is open to the public and there will be a Q&A for the public. The City Commission still needs to vote on the issues and needs your input. The Market Manager, Debbie Genova, (green and white striped tent) can swipe your credit, debit or SNAP cards. We participate in the Double Up Food Program and the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Buy your Farmers Market gift cards ($10) from Debbie and we accept Chamber of Commerce gift certificates. You can register for the October Bundle Give Away at her booth also. You can support your Farmers' Market by buying a Plant a Carrot sign to put in your yard and/or "I love my Farmers Market" bumper sticker.
