Dear Andersonville Farmers Market Friend,

We're starting July with our 7th market week-hard to believe that we've had this much summer (and market). The season is flying by and you won't want to miss a single week! Come by this Wednesday and find everything you'll need for the weekend's holiday feast. We have free range meat and sausages for the grill, fresh baked buns and rolls, salad fixings, juicy fruit and delectable baked goods for dessert. Come shop the market and have a delicious 4th of July!

Yours (wishing you a safe and happy holiday),

Joan

Rotating Vendors
Different vendors every week

This year we have two rotating vendor booths with a wide variety of goods!  The vendors will rotate bimonthly between our Growing Green and Ripening Red duos , making it easier to keep track of who will be at the market every week.
This week we feature the Growing Green group:

letizia pasta sign
Grassroots Farm- Organically grown produce 
Letizia's Fiore- Fresh pasta and Italian pastries

See the vendor list above for more details about these great vendors and their products!
Music at the Market
Old Time Folk

3:30-5pm, 6-7:30pm
 
The Last Kind Words  

Come get a double dose of a market favorite! The Last Kind Words Mandolin/Guitar duo of Kenneth P.W. Rainey and Geoff Farina take their name from Geeshie Wiley's classic song for war-bound serviceman. Rainey and Farina play songster ballads, string-band classics, and fiddle tunes, usually on instruments as old as the tunes themselves.
Credit/Debit & LINK at the market
 Market tokens-easy to use, no expiration date! 

 

Not enough cash for your market purchases?  Our token system is fast and easy and saves you a (sometimes costly) trip to the nearest ATM.  Keep in mind that the tokens you purchase can be Tokens don't expire, so you can use them throughout the whole season and at the winter farmers market too.   

They also ma tokens ke great gifts!

Here's how it works:

Credit/Debit tokens are GREEN and can be used the same as cash at the market.  Credit/debit tokens are worth $5 (there is a convenience fee of 25 cents per token to cover our processing costs) and change can be given by vendors for these tokens.  

 

LINK tokens are BLUE and can be used to purchase Link approved items at participating booths.  LINK tokens are worth $1 (no processing fee) and vendors cannot give change for these tokens.  

 

BOTH tokens can be used at any time during the season. You don't have to spend them all at once.  Stop by the chamber booth if you have any questions or want to purchase tokens! 

 

Our LINK matching program is currently on hold, but we hope to match funds at some point during the 2015 market season. Please check back for future status updates.
Volunteer at the Market!

Volunteers Needed   

 

We can always use some extra hands at the market- volunteer volunteering gets you out of the house and gives you the chance to experience the market from "the other side".  You can sign up for one week or more, and earn the gratitude of market managers, vendors, and shoppers!  Contact David at [email protected] to sign up or for more information.
