Saturday, March 28, 2015, marks the final week for the 9th season of the Winter Farmers’ Market.
It is also the 8th Annual CSA Fair hosted at Post Oil Solutions’ Winter Farmers’ Market. We expect to have close to a dozen CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) represented along with our regular market vendor line-up, and a special guest from New Leaf CSA!
Take this opportunity to do your CSA research and pick your farmer for 2015! You will find farms with weekly CSA shares for vegetables, fruit, flowers and more. Some offer deliveries to central pick-up locations while many invite you to visit their farms each week and get to know their operation. Some farms even invite you into their fields to lend a hand in picking the weeks harvest. So join a CSA. It’s a great way to support local agriculture and the local economy!
In addition to the CSA Fair, and the usual delights of the market, we will also be featuring live Indian slide guitar music in the café from 11:00-1:00 by Bada Raga.
Market Managers urge 3SquaresVT customers to use up all of their Market Match Coupons and wooden market tokens before the season ends. Remember Market Match Coupons expire on Saturday, March 28, 2015
The Winter Farmers Market offers fresh greens as the spring weather allows, apples, roots, maple syrup, cheese, local eggs, grass-fed beef, pork and lamb, locally raised chickens, baked goods, local pickles and preserves, hand-made soaps, jewelry, pottery, hot lunches, and much more.
And thanks from all of us at the Winter Market to the Greater Brattleboro Community for yet another successful season of the Winter Farmers’ Market. When you support farmers’ markets you support your local economy and vote with your dollars for safe, nutritious local food for you and your family.
