The late frost, hot weather and lack of moisture have delayed the opening of the Cannon County Farmer’s Market. For those looking for locally grown farm fresh vegetables, this Saturday, June 2nd and Tuesday’s, June 5th is the start of the 2012 season.Carmen and Jerry Smithson and Ben Olson will be available this Saturday beginning 7:00 A.M., items that you can find this coming Saturday are; lettuce, cabbage, cucumbers, squash, scallions, turnips, beets, leafy greens (turnip, collard, mustard), herbs, zucchini squash and an assortment of other squash. The market is just beginning, so each week you will be able to find a broader selection of fresh fruits and vegetables.
On Tuesday, Darrell Bussell will be on the market with his locally grown, farm fresh-vine ripened tomatoes, assortment of squash, cucumber (pickling, burpless, English and slicing) and hopefully a few banana peppers. The market will be open from 3:00 P.M. until 6 P.M. on Tuesday afternoon.
The Cannon County Farmers Market is located at the Cannon County Arts Center every Saturday beginning at 7:00 A.M. Our producers are proud to offer locally grown farm fresh produce.
Most Saturdays the market is open until noon or until the farm fresh fruits and vegetables have been sold. Best way to get the best selection is to come early!
