Farmer’s Market Reminder
Just in case you forgot, or missed it the first time around, the South of the James Market kicks off tomorrow morning, 8am, at Shelter 2 in Forest Hill Park (circa New Kent & 42nd). I’ll be the guy trying to figure out how to carry 4 armloads of produce home on his bike.
Just out of curiosity, did anyone not go the market this morning? That was AWESOME. We got there at 10-something (the first time) and it was pretty well picked-over. What a nice problem to have, though!
I did indeed go and was impressed. I didn’t get there ’til 10:45ish, so most of what I would have bought was gone, but I suppose that bodes well. Lesson learned, and I’ll be there early next time.
I’m told Channel 12 should have a piece on this at 11 tonight.
We got there at 8:15am and vendors were already selling out of things. It was a mob scene. I’m trying to convince my mother (who sells at the Goochland market) to switch venues.
I would like to know if there is a website with info on how to sign up to be a vendor, time, and what the fee is…
Market manager is Karen Atkinson, 513-3100. Fee is $10/week. Time is 8-12, Saturdays through September.
Not certain of a website. Google South of the James market and see what that gives you.
