Farmers Market at Ix, Aug 30, 2025, 8:00 a.m.-12:00 noon Starr Hill Market, Aug 31, 9:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m.
Just like that, it’s Labor Day. If anyone should get a labor holiday, it’s the farmers, but that is likley not in the picture until another month or so when the days are shorter and the temperatures drop. The farmers and ranchers at our market are passionate, and seemingly tireless. Thanks to you shopping at farmers markets for local food and goods, you are keeping farms in business, their farm land is protected from development, and their incomes stay local. And we get to stay healthy! It’s a beautiful relationship.
Speaking of shorter days, one more month of 8:00-12:00 markets and then on Oct. 4, we switch to 9:00 a.m. -1:00 p.m. operating hours.
Have you heard about the Starr Hill Market yet? This market opened to give both customers and vendors options. The Saturday markets (City and Market Central) can’t hold any more vendors, yet many farmers and food producers need access. Customers unable to come on Saturday mornings also need options. Thus the Starr Hill Market is open. Help us grow by attending and encouraging vendors to sign up. The Jefferson School City Center, run by the JS Foundation, is a beautiful site to relax for breakfast, brunch, lunch and shopping, with shade, restrooms, seating and parking! There is much potential in this market. We will be open this Sunday, and the 2nd and 4th Sundays in Sept., Oct. and November.
See you at the farmers markets!
