WHITINGHAM — The Whitingham Farmers' Market - featuring homegrown, homemade, and handcrafted food and goods - opens for its second season on Friday, June 26, from 4 to 7 p.m., at the Whitingham Municipal Center in Jacksonville.
The market will run through mid-October.
Market organizers say that the first year was a tremendous success, with a core of about 16 vendors, regular entertainment, and a modest but steady stream of loyal customers. They invite everyone to come, shop, eat, and socialize, and also encourage more local growers, bakers, crafters and producers to offer their goods for sale at the market.
The market is perfect for first-time vendors, organizers say.
With the support of the Town of Whitingham, the Whitingham Economic Development Group, and all the vendors chipping in to help with some of the chores, the barrier to entry is low: $39 buys you a spot for the whole season.
