The ten-day countdown to fresh produce and handmade treats starts tomorrow! The Linton Farmers’ Market will have its’ second annual kick-off on May 31st, and we have a great line up of vendors ready to talk about their wares and send you home with the best of our region’s bounty.
There is still time to fill out an application and become a vendor yourself. Even after the market starts, if you think this is your year to debut your own handmade or locally grown items, get online at www.lintonfarmersmarket.com, or visit Linton’s City Hall for a vendor application.
Since we are all about eating local, buying local, and supporting local producers, we would like to introduce you to a few of our regular vendors. Be sure to visit and introduce yourself to…
Melon Acres
Melon Acres is a multi-generational family farm that offers a wide range of produce and has become one of our anchors at the Linton Farmers’ Market. Their friendly, knowledgeable staff will be on hand to talk to you about their time-honored traditions and their passion for quality fruits and veggies. You’ll find asparagus, cantaloupe, sweet corn, watermelon, and mini melon among their wares this year. melonacres.com
Glory Hill Farm
We are happy to welcome Glory Hill Farm to the Market this year. Glory Hill specializes in organically grown produce and will have a great variety of delicious choices for you. This is a great opportunity to try organics, and talk to the family about the value of their methods. If you arrive early, you might also find some of those gorgeous, deep yellow-yolked, free-range eggs we wrote about a few weeks ago. www.gloryhillfarm.com
The Daily Dish Café
If you’re not already familiar with The Daily Dish Café, then you need to make some time to spend your breakfast or lunch hour on Vincennes Street this week. The Daily Dish is a unique, local restaurant with a fantastic menu and daily specials. It’s the perfect spot for a casual meeting or a long lunch with friends. You won’t want to miss the picture-perfect pies and from-scratch treats at The Daily Dish Café booth.
