Farmers Market at Ix Art Park, Aug 26, 2023

Say goodbye to August at the markets, as we all look forward to cooler weather and abundant harvests. Farmers have been preparing their fields for fall crops, while the tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, melons, are still producing. Apples are just beginning to be ripe enough to pick. Keep up with farms and vendors by following them on Instagram.

We welcome a new pasta vendor, Oro, who will be attending every other week. She will be in spot 56 this week. For those of you who have missed Ambrosia, the vendor from Greece, she is returning this week!

Market Central also helps vendors connect to the community about job openings. This week, Sweet Greens has an opportunity for a worker to manage their market booth, or to work both at the farm and at the market. Good Phyte Foods is looking for a food production manager. Market Central can put you in touch with both businesses for more information. Market Central
