Month of June Attendance Calculated
The Farmers Market was open for 6 sessions in June with the average attendance at 276 customers for each session. This number does include the large turn-out for the opening day on June 11th (213) and the official Grand Opening on June 28th (538). Numbers for the first 4 sessions completed for the month of July are averaging 243 attendees per session. Average number of vendors for June was 9 per session and average so far for July in the number of vendors is 11. So an increase of vendors for July shows that the area farmers and craftsmen are finding the market a good outlet for their vegetables and crafts.
What’s at the market this week (July 16th and July 19th)
Our produce list for this week is cantaloupes, watermelons, white corn, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, cabbage, bell peppers, banana peppers, jalapeños, tomatoes, peaches, purple hull crowder & pink eye purple hull peas, and snaps! There will also be some vendors selling crafts, as well. We hope you can come out to see us all!
