Lansdowne Farmers Market

Every Saturday, May 24 to October 25, 9:00 to 1:00
Rain or Shine
Lansdowne Avenue Parking Lot

The small but mighty, and mighty appreciated, Lansdowne Farmers Market takes place every Saturday, no matter the weather, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the big parking lot at the center of town, sandwiched between Lansdowne and Owen Avenues, Memorial Day weekend to the end of October. Six regular weekly vendors bring a wide and varying array of produce, seafood, poultry, meat, dairy, baked goods, pantry items, and soap and body supplies. Each week they're joined by three personalities -- an artist, a musician, and a local business -- that change every Saturday. In addition, one booth rotates among three great causes -- Epiphany House, which works to find loving and stable homes for vulnerable children and which still manages to provide free crafts for kids at the Market, Guatemalan Cotton, which sells cotton items handmade by and benefitting women in Guatemala, and Teens4Good, a group of innercity youths that grows and sells produce as a service to the community and themselves. In short, there's always something new, interesting, and worthwhile at the Lansdowne Farmers Market.

Market Manager Rick Grocott can be found, appropriately, at the Market Manager tent, where you'll also find information about upcoming local and Market events as well as business cards from some of the artists, businesses, and musicians who've already had their day at the Market. Rick can also answer your questions about the Market, including about being Artist or Business of the Week.


The Market Manager tent is also where you can also get a good look at the Growing Gift Basket, which is pretty dazzling, and we're not even halfway through the season as of this writing. Most of the vendors, businesses, and talents that participate in the Market donate an item or two to this basket, which will be raffled off on October 18, the next-to-last Farmers Market of the year. Raffle tickets prices go up as the season progresses, so get them sooner rather than later. It's worth coming to the Farmers Market just to get some chances on this goodie basket!
