The local food pantries are extremely low on supplies. Won't you please help the River City Farmer's Market help those less fortunate? We are collecting non-perishable food and cleaning supplies for these pantries.

Each time you donate you will receive a free raffle ticket . On Feb. 23rd we will have a drawing for a $25.00 Market Gift Certificate. Give every week for a greater chance to win and to help even more.

Also on  the 23rd we are having Soup Day. Our members will be making their favorite soups to share with you, and supplying recipes as well. Be sure to come by and sample your favorites.This is free, however  All donations are appreciated. 

Our farmers are talking seeds these days, so maybe the produce will be forthcoming before too much longer. I don't know about you, but I for one am looking forward to spring and some fresh greens and spring flowers. This winter has been a long one it seams. Ready for Sunshine and warm temps.

There's always something new to be had here at the market so stop by often to check us out.

Till then

Holidays

Can you believe it is December 1st already. Where did this year go????

Things are beginning to look rather festive around the market . Getting ready for our annual Christmas give away. Beginning today we will be handing out tickets for our free Christmas raffle, and every Saturday until the big drawings on Dec. 22. Santa will be here on that day and WNUS radio station will be doing a live remote. There will be cookies coffee and hot apple cider for all.  Have your child or children drop off their letter for Santa in the basket on the gift table.

Come on by and finish off that Christmas gift list right here. There are lots to choose from and something for everyone on your list. Reasonable prices and smiling faces to greet you. No pushing and shoving and grumpy shoppers or sales people. Everything is made right here in your local area. No shipped in stuff from who knows where. You can talk to the maker / grower in person. It just doesn't get any better than that and we are always happy to see you and to serve.

Come on out and say hello. Your neighbors will probably be here as well.

Nov 24th at The Market

  

Tomorrow is small Business Saturday, the day after Black Friday.

 

The River City Farmers Market consists of small business owners who are  members of your local community who come together every Saturday to offer their best for  your purchasing pleasure. Buying from them is helping your community to grow and prosper rather than some unknown in a foreign country.

 This year why not put them first on your shopping list. There is much to be found there, something for everyone and for any and every occasion.

I do hope you will come by and see for yourself. You may even find your neighbor or best friend there. 

Beginning the first Saturday in December we will once again be giving out free tickets to be drawn at our Annual Christmas at the Market event on the last Saturday before Christmas . Be sure you stop in and get yours for a chance to win a prize made by one or some of our members. It's a gala time and lots of fun. 

Hope to see you all at the market tomorrow.

Have a blessed Day
