Atchison Farmers’ Market
Market E-Newsletter for Saturday, June 22, 2013
8 a.m. to 12 noon
Yesterday was the first day of summer, the longest day of the year. The heat of summer is beginning. We can just hope that the rain has not stopped for the season. We need moisture. Willenskraft Farm, with Cindy Timmons and Rick Vanderweide, will return to the market today with scape pesto. Be sure to visit their table to welcome them back. If you have children with you today, stop by Gilbert Gasper's stand (aka The Tortilla Man) to see him make balloon animals. Next weekend we will feature The Versatiles, jazz band. They were at the market last June. In addition, Billie Whitfield, a RN nursing student at Highland Community College will host a table to teach about the MyPlate nutrition program. She will have brochures available. If you know of any musicians who would like to play at the market, we would love to have them contact us to schedule a date. Also, if your non-profit organization plans to do a fundraiser, we may be able to offer them a spot at the market on a Saturday. Please contact me at 913 709 5050 or longviewfarm3@gmail.com
