Farmer’s Market

Just as Ray Bradbury’s “Dandelion Wine” ushers in the start of summer, so does the kickoff of the Annual Market Festival on the Square in Monticello.

Opening day is this Saturday, May 7th. This year the 2016 season is from May 7 through September 24.

Local farmers and artisans will spend much of their week during the spring and summer preparing to bring their harvest to the town Square for YOU to reap the benefits.

They have been plowing, planting, and watering for at least four weeks now. Harvest time has arrived and it is time to share it with the community. In this week’s paper, we have an ad listing all of the vendors who have signed up for the season, and we are adding new vendors daily.

You will not see all the vendors every week as some of them will only attend while their crop is in season (corn, watermelon, and cantaloupe).

Please support the market each week! You, the community, have asked to have a farmer’s market and the vendors have worked hard preparing their fruits, vegetables and homemade wares for you. You are the most important ingredient to making our market a success. Come each week and take advantage of getting the best local grown, handmade, or Georgia grown products around – right here in Jasper County.

See you at the market!
