Here we are in our final week of the 2011 season of the Farmers & Artisans Market! Another summer gone by much to quickly, and we’re sorry to see it go, but pleased as ever to know that the Market will return next year to bring you the best in locally grown food and plants, prepared foods and handmade items.

Please join us in closing out the season – we’ll be at North Union and Cambridge Streets from 9AM-1PM tomorrow (Saturday, October 15th). We hope to see you there!

We are in our final weeks of the 2011 Farmers & Artisans Market season, which ends with our final Market on October 15th. Until then, we hope you’ll continue to join us as the crowds have thinned, the weather has cooled, and life has slowed to a more comfortable pace. There’s still late Summer/early Fall foods to enjoy, and some truly unique items from our artists and artisans. Here’s the vendor list for this week:

The Mid-Island Market, which ran from July 12th through August 30th, was conceived with the goal of making the Market experience convenient and accessible for those who are unable to attend the Saturday Farmers & Artisans Market at its downtown location, and for those who would like to supplement their Saturday Market shopping. The Mid-Island Market featured Island growers and food vendors only – unlike the Saturday Market which also includes Artisan vendors. SN has recognized the need for a mid-island, mid-week Market for some time, and after much hard work and planning on the part of SN staff and Market committee members, was finally able to make this Market a reality for the height of the summer season – July 12th through August 30th.

Market attendance nearly doubled over the course of seven weeks, and shoppers at the Tuesday Market responded positively to the location and hours. Some shared constructive feedback about the things they’d like to see at next year’s Mid-Island Market, and that feedback will be taken into consideration during the planning stages for the 2012 season.

Mid-Island Market information, along with the Downtown Farmer & Artisans Market information, vendor applications, and handbooks for the 2012 season will be available in early 2012.

We’re going to have a gorgeous day for open-air shopping tomorrow! Join us on North Union and Cambridge Streets between 9AM and 1PM.

Well, Hurricane Irene is on her way, however it looks like she won’t arrive until Sunday, so we’re still planning on holding the Farmers & Artisans Market tomorrow as usual. In the event that she shows up early, we’ll post cancellation information on our web site, Facebook and Twitter, and we’ll leave a message on our answering machine at 508-228-3399 letting you know the market has been cancelled. No message means the Market is on!

We hope tomorrow will be the calm before the storm, and we hope you will join us on North Union and Cambridge Streets between 9AM and 1PM!
