August may be over, but the farmers market is still going strong! We have 3 more weeks of fresh food, live music, and artisan crafts before we take a break for the winter. September is one of the most abundant months for our farmers, and with the tourist crowds beginning to thin out, it’s a great time to come to market!
Our farmers will continue to bring the summer goodies we all love: tomatoes, corn, peaches, dahlias, and more. But we should also start to see more fall produce arriving as the days grow shorter and nights cool off, so keep an eye out for more root crops, squash, cabbages, and more.
After a couple week hiatus, we are again tripling your SNAP benefits and will continue to do so for the rest of the season! Sales of our new commemorative poster fund our Triple Up benefits, enabling lower income members of our community to shop at the farmers market and supporting our farmers and vendors. Get yours at the market info booth! Our very first commemorative Manzanita Farmers Market poster! We’re starting a tradition of having different art to mark each year of the market. Start collecting them this year, get yours today at the market info booth.
The funds raised from poster sales will be used to help fund the market, particularly our Triple Up SNAP match program.
This year’s poster was made by board member and long time vendor Jordan Gulaskey, and is an original linocut portraying some of the unique offerings of our beloved farmers market! These will be for sale in the market info booth, just inside the entrance.
Music this week is by our own market manager Carolina, performing as Corvus Landing. With a voice like sweet bourbon and a unique multi instrumental style, you’ll hear original songs and familiar tunes like you’ve never heard them before. With her own feet playing percussion and a range of electric and acoustic sounds, Corvus Landing covers a range of pop, blues, Americana, rock, and soul.
