Though winter is still very
much with us the first sign of
spring is near. The Jasper Farm
ers Market will open on March
28. The hours, 7:30 am to 12
noon will be the same as will the
location on Hwy 53 ( Church
Street) at Lee Newton Park. The
market will be open every Satur
day morning through out the
spring and summer early fall
months and close the end of Oc
tober. During the peak vegetable
season there will also be a
Wednesday morning market.
This is a true farmers market
and only accepts vendors who
grow the plants and produce,
raise the poultry and animals,
make the crafts, food items, and
what ever else they are selling. If
you shop here you can be sure of
what you are getting because the
provider is right there. Got a
question? Just ask. Our vendors
are all friendly and fair. They
support one another, cooperate
in pricing and share information
with each other and the cus
tomer.
There is always room for
more vendors. If you have any
interest in becoming one you can
look on line at www.pick-
ensmg.org or the Jasper Farmers
Market facebook page. The cost
to set up is $3 each time you
come. You can register ahead of
time or wait until you come on a
market day morning.
If you have never visited the
Jasper Farmers Market we hope
you will come and see us this
year. If you are a regular cus
tomer do a friend or family
member a favor and bring them
along.
The Jasper Farmers Market is
A beautiful opening day with lots of vendors in 2012 brought
this family out so the daughters could sell the veggies they had
raised.
