Farmer’s Market In The Running For America’s Favorite
July 9, 2012
A Cantonment farmer’s market is in the running to be named one of the America’s Favorite Farmer’s Markets.
The Market at St. Monica’s is one of the contestants in the 2012 competition hosted by the American Farmland Trust. Winners will be featured on the food website Epicurious.com and will be honored at local celebrations with a prize package.
Market shoppers can cast their vote in support of their region’s farmers, community and market. To vote for The Market at St. Monica’s, click here and select the market. After voting, American Farmland Trust will solicit a donation to protect American farmland, but donations are not required to vote.
The Market at St. Monica’s is open on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 8 a.m. until noon with a variety of locally grown produce and other merchandise at St. Monica’s Episcopal Church at 699 County Road 95-A South in Cantonment.
The market will be open again on July 21.

i took my grandmother this past saturday. must have gotten there too early. there were not many veggies or fruit at all. although i did hit up the mennonite ladies. managed to stay away from the cinnamon rolls, but walked away with two bags of cookies, bag of rolls, and three loaves of bread! wow, will definately be back though!! thanks william!
Kudos to all the great folks at St. Monicas for there continued committment to providing this market for their community, it has proven to be a boon for many,
and helps support Manna as well………..
I have been out to the market 3 times & have found it to be very nice, the people & the products are just wonderful. Yes I too have sampled the cinnamon rolls & they are great! The goat lotion and honey are excellent products also and so is the fresh produce. Hope this continues for a long time. I will vote for the Market.
piano lady, yes, pets are allowed on leash. We are very family friendly – even 4-legged family members! And the mini-horse cart rides are free. Hope to see all of you on July 21st!
William, Please remind us again on the Thursday and Friday prior to this Market. I just know I will forget but, I’d like to check it out.
William ~ Thanks for doing this story!
There was a gentleman with a shetland drawn cart and a donkey, tethered in the shade. there were arts and crafts, a DJ with good music, very clean, nice people and interesting things.
I hate to say this, but the cinnamon rolls are to die for. Eating them are like floating on a cloud. I could be a pig and eat everyone of them myself, all in one sitting. The kind you want to hide from all the bottom less pits in your household. Unfortunately since I have said this I will need to make sure I get out there early to get my fix!
Are pets allowed, on a leash and picked up after?
Thanks again, William. We hope everybody will vote for us! Imagine how awesome it would be to have a market in little ole Cantonment win!
The cinnamon rolls that the Mennonite Ladies bake are great.
