The Farmer's Market--More than Produce

When you come down to the Monroe Farmer's Market you know you'll find all the produce, baked goods, fresh coffee, local meat, honey, maple syrup and other products that you've come to expect.  But this year, we've added a dose of entertainment to make the market even more interesting.  You never know what might be going on!  Here are a few of the things you may have seen, or on the other hand, the fun you've missed:

Trent Weber, the Mystical Kid, a magician

 Pottery vendors demonstrating their craft

 John Waelti with his accordion

 a wandering violinist, entertaining shoppers

"At the farmer's market, every day brings new opportunities for sharing, for catching up with friends, for strengthening ties of friendship, for supporting each other.  We value and treasure these relationships.  Our market does more than distribute fresh, locally grown, wholesome food.  It is a social, cultural event that brings many of the people of our area together."
