A gorgeous Saturday is about to be unlocked at the market!

The Easton City trolley will be back up and running, the weather is perfect, and we’re in peak produce season with a rainbow of fresh flavor available! A fantastic and talented group of guest vendors will be present this week, so in addition to your produce and beverage needs, peruse handmade ceramics, up-cycled clothing, jewelry, printed bags, and more! From your head to your toes, there is a way to keep it local at the farmers’ market.

A great recent food systems read from Amanda Maria Edmonds highlights the importance of keeping our food as close to home as possible.

“We shouldn’t need a crisis to remind us to keep our next meal closer to home — and we shouldn’t have to wait for the next one to build the systems that make that possible, affordable, and accessible for all families.”

That’s what the farmers’ market is here for. It’s a support system that keeps us grounded and healthy and resilient in times of uncertainty. Read the full article here.

In other local resiliency news, the Easton Trolley is back up and running! Every Saturday, the Easton Trolley will be available for all residents to hop aboard for FREE!  From the West Ward to downtown to the farmers’ market to the South Side — and back again – and get discounts at local businesses along the way!
