Media Farmer's Market Opens Thursday
The Farmer's Market will feature new vendors, new foods and some musical guests to kick off its second year in the Media Theater parking lot.
The Media Farmer's Market is back for its second season, and they kick off their expanded lineup of farmers and products on Thursday at 3 p.m. in the parking lot. They'll be open every Thursday from 3-7 p.m. through November 17.
"There are many new farmers and vendors that expand this year’s market. We will introduce new types of fresh food and locally made products to temp the taste buds of everyone who stops by the parking lot next to the Media Theater every Thursday," Market Committee member Addie Ciannella says.
One of this year's newcomers, Great Harvest Bread Company, mils its own flour and sports a variety of healthy breads, all of which will be available to sample. Another new vendor, First State Creamery, makes goat’s milk cheeses; both raw milk hard cheeses and soft pasteurized cheeses. Burlap and Bean will be there with their fair trade coffee. Maiale’s Salumeria will also be joining the market this year with their handmade artisanal sausages, salami, pasta and sauces.

The market bell rings at 3 p.m., and entertainment starts shortly after with Christine Kinlow. Then Janine Kelly, well-know children’s performer, will tune up her guitar for a sing-along starting at 3:45 p.m. The entertainment continues at 5 p.m. with The Wayne Harvey Band.
Gather up your reusable shopping bags and get ready for another six months of delicious, healthy and locally grown farm products. (Would it be too much to end here with a "YEE-HAW!" ? I think not.)
