TOWNSHEND — Are you an area farmer interested in bringing local vegetables, fruits, meats, eggs, cheese, syrup, honey, or any other local food to market in the West River Valley? Do you create food items using raw materials sourced from local farmers?
If so, consider joining Townshend Farmers' Market, held Fridays from 4 to 7 p.m. starting June 7 on the lawn of the West Townshend Country Store.
The farmers' market serves West River Valley residents and the many visitors traveling the valley. Its mission: support area farmers, increase access to local food, and support a sustainable local economy. The market accepts EBT cards and Farm to Family coupons.
The market is open during inclement weather to boot, as organizers and customers have the use of the neighboring church.
A meeting for interested vendors is Friday, May 17, at 4 p.m., at the West Townshend Country Store. Applications for the 2013 season are available at www.postoilsolutions.org.
