Summer Opening of the Potsdam Farmers Market

Description

In promotion of "Eating With the Seasons," GardenShare will be hosting an opening day event for the summer farmers market to welcome in the delicious fruits and vegetables of the summer season. The opening day of the Potsdam Summer Farmers Market will take place on Saturday, June the 24th from 9:00am - 2:00pm in Ives Park.

Summer opening day will not be the typical farmers market. There will be both kid friendly events and educational activities including, sidewalk chalk drawing led by Cassie Helman, a story walk of "The Old Truck," and a magnet fishing game. In addition, there will be live music during the later hours of the market. 

Of course, there will also be produce and craft vendors at the farmers market. Some fresh summer produce to look out for on opening day includes, carrots, peas, and strawberries. There will also be meat, eggs, an baked goods. Craft vendors include handmade soaps, patterned quilts, beautiful flower bouquets and handcrafted jewelry. As always, day vendors and non-profits interested in having a table at the market are welcome to reach out to GardenShare at farmersmarkets@gardenshare.org.  

We encourage all of Potsdam to come out to the opening of the summer farmers market to support local businesses and for a free family friendly event! Help us instill the love of shopping at farmers markets to our future generations.
