BRATTLEBORO — Saturday, March 30, marks the final week for the seventh season of the Winter Farmers' Market.
It is also the sixth annual CSA Fair hosted at Post Oil Solutions' Winter Farmers' Market. A variety of CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) Farms will join the regular market line-up to offer information about their farming operations and their CSA share options.
Take this opportunity to do your CSA research and pick your farmer for 2013. Visitors will find farms with weekly CSA shares for vegetables, fruit, medicinal herbs, meat and more.
Some offer deliveries to central pick-up locations, while many invite you to visit their farms each week and get to know their operation. Some farms even invite members into their fields to lend a hand in picking the week's harvest.
In addition to the CSA Fair, and the usual delights of the market, they will also be featuring live music in the café from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., courtesy of the ballad singing trio Maythorn (www.facebook.com/maythornmusic).
This will also be the final week for 3SquaresVT customers to cash in all those Market Match Coupons they have distributed this season.
The Winter Farmers' Market offers fresh greens, apples, maple syrup, local eggs, grass-fed beef, pork and lamb, locally raised chickens, baked goods, local preserves, hand-made soaps, jewelry, pottery, hot lunches, and more.
Organizers wish to thank the River Garden and the greater Brattleboro community for yet another record-setting season of the Winter Farmers' Market.
Stay tuned for news about their 2013-14 season as market organizers watch the developments at the River Garden and consider location options that can support the Winter Farmers' Market's continued growth.
