The Market at St Monica’s Episcopal Church in Cantonment kicked off their 2012 season Saturday.

“Like many other communities across the country, we are seeing a growth in demand for locally grown produce and fresh prepared food products,” said Viven Welch, market manager. “We have ramped up our vendor recruitment and promotion efforts to meet this demand and expect to offer the community access to more vendors and a broader range of produce and prepared food in the 2012 season.”
Vendors taking part in opening day included Smocked With Love, Pawless Mini Farm, Po Man’s Pickins, M&K Mayhaws, Ladybug Acres Natural Growers, Tracie’s Candles, Susan’s Hot Dogs, Polly & Glenda’s Baked Goods (they sold out by 10 a.m.), Jackie’s Sno-cones & Popcorn, Lyle & Shirley, Mr. V’s DJ Service, St. Monica’s Quilters, ECW and more.
Organizers said opening day festivities are just the start of the activities planned for the 2nd season. Future plans include canning demonstrations, along with agricultural, nutrition and health information.

I went to the Farmer’s Market recently (it’s 9/24/13 now), and got some great goodies, learned a lot, made new friends, got to meet some folks from the local area, had some lovely conversation about a variety of subjects of interest to me!
Loved it and would recommend it.
Sounds great, what’s the address? I’m new to the area and don’t know where this is held. I’d like to attend.
Thanks for posting the pictures, that makes it much more informative and inviting!
We had lots of fun food and neighborly hanging out. Some of the venders sold out by 10 o clock, they will bring more stuff next time. come the third Sat of May for more delious and wonderful stuff.
