Market Opens this Saturday, May 1!

4/30/2010 7:41am by Mary Meyer

Spring has sprung and the first market of the season opens Saturday in the grassy grove area at Coshocton County Fairgrounds. Come and enjoy visiting with neighbors and friends as you buy local produce, baked goods, candy, and craft items.

Sales begin when the starting bell rings at 8:30 a.m., and continue until 12 noon. Look for early-season produce like asparagus, rhubarb, lettuce, spinach, and radishes, fresh from local gardens. Come early to get the best selection! You’ll also find delicious homemade pies, cookies, and candies, as well as jams and jellies.

 To spruce up your flowerbeds, porch, or deck, or to buy gifts for Mother’s Day, you’ll find a great selection of colorful plants from Siegrist Farms, Victorian Rose Farm, and others. Look for annual and perennial flowers, decorative planters, and hanging baskets, including plants for both shade and sun.

 Don’t miss the Coshocton Farmers’ Market welcome booth, staffed by market manager Rashelle Gillett. We have T-shirts and tote bags for sale, embroidered with the farmers’ market logo, and offer information about the market and important food issues.

See you at the market!
