Will be improved even more than last year- more variety with year-round items such as honey, maple syrup etc. Also includes local YAK meat, mushrooms, dried herbs, jams, etc. The St Joseph farmer's market continues to grow in number of vendors and varieties of produce. Summer market combines all kinds of fresh veggies (ASPARAGAS, new potatoes, lettuce, peas, raspberries and radishes- with bedding plants available.
The St. Joseph Farmers’ Market, founded in 2000 under the auspices of Healthy Community Partners, has these central purposes:
Building community relationships by directly linking those who produce food with those who consume it.
Providing local producers an opportunity for optimum economic return through direct marketing of their products.
Ensuring local consumers an opportunity for fresh, healthy food which is the harvest of their own bio-region. Retaining local money in the local area by direct exchange among people.
Providing a natural setting that invites people to meet and to enjoy the yield of what a community working together can offer.
Educating people toward greater understanding of their interdependence upon one another and their ties with the earth, and, thereby, to an awareness that they are shareholders in sustaining this rural area.
