Lansdowne Farmers Market
Rain or Shine Lansdowne Avenue Parking Lot
The small but mighty, and mighty appreciated, Lansdowne Farmers Market takes place every Saturday, no matter the weather, from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the big parking lot at the center of town, sandwiched between Lansdowne and Owen Avenues, Memorial Day weekend to the end of October. Several regular weekly vendors bring a wide and varying array of produce, poultry, meat, dairy, baked goods, pantry items, bouquets, herbs, flowers, and plants, plus a variety of prepared foods for eating on site. Each week they're joined by three personalities -- an artist, a musician, and a local business -- that change every Saturday. In addition, one booth rotates among three great causes -- Epiphany House, which works to find loving and stable homes for vulnerable children and which sponsors free crafts for kids at the Market; Guatemalan Cotton, which sells cotton items handmade by and benefitting women in Guatemala; and Teens4Good, a group of innercity youths that grows and sells produce as a service to the community and themselves. In short, there's always something new, interesting, and worthwhile at the Lansdowne Farmers Market.
Market Manager Rick Grocott can be found, appropriately, at the Market Manager booth, where you'll also find information about upcoming local and Market events as well as business cards from some of the artists, businesses, and musicians who've already had their day at the Market.
