Behind the Scenes: Farmers Markets in February

Wondering what happens during the “off-season” in the FCPA Farmers Markets office? Here’s a sneak peek at what they’ve been up to!

Market Fresh Updates

Sampling and Selecting 2024 Vendors 

 

Over the past few weeks, the Farmers Market team has received many vendor applications for the 2024 season! Prospective vendors are encouraged to bring samples to the office so the team can meet them and taste their products. With applications now closed, the next step is to carefully review each application and solidify the 2024 vendor lineup. Stay tuned for the list and get ready for some delicious new additions!

Appreciating our Volunteers

 

Did you know that the FCPA’s 10 Farmers Markets are managed by volunteers? These dedicated volunteers help out the Farmers Market Staff every week by setting up the information tent and ensuring that all components of the Market run smoothly. At the end of January, the FCPA was able to honor these hardworking members of the community with an appreciation lunch catered by some of our returning vendors. If you’re interested in joining this fun, hardworking group, apply on our website!
