Each day gets us closer and closer to Farmer’s
Market season. What a wonderful time of
year: the weather is warmer, the days
are longer and Saturdays are a great day to find yourself at a Farmers’
Market.
That
being said, I have heard that there will be a Farmers’ Market Thursday evenings
in Sheridan. Ann Goldthwait of Kindred Spirits Gift
Gallery Ltd in Sheridan
is the contact for the Sheridan Farmers’ Market, 842-7702.
I
love exploring our local Farmers’ Markets.
Missoula’s
three markets can be an overwhelming display of color, local produce, yummy
eats and amazing hand-crafted items. I
have yet to attend Bozeman’s Farmer’s Market,
Bogert Farmer’s Market at Bogert Park near Bozeman
Deaconness Hospital. Missoula’s
Farmers Market runs May 11 to October 26.
Bogert (Bozeman)
Farmers Market will be June 4 to September 24.
Find
Madison Farm to Fork on Facebook and check out their website: www.madisonfarmtofork.com. Whitehall
and Dillon also host Farmers’ Markets during the summer. During your travels this summer, strive to
stop at 5 different Farmers’ Markets and support Southwest
Montana’s local economy.
The
Ruby Valley’s original Buy Local movement,
the Twin Bridges Farmers’ Market was organized by Paula Gilman over a decade
ago. My husband and I feel very
fortunate to be acting Market Managers for the 2013 season. The first Twin Bridges Farmers’ Market will
be Saturday, May 18, 9 am to Noon.
Markets will be held at the TB
Main Street
Park every Saturday
through the end of September. Vendor
Fees are $5.00 per booth space, no fee for non-profit organization and youth
(16 & under) booths. The first 2
weeks in May there will be no Fees for Vendors.
