Welcome to Melrose Farmers Market
SUMMER IS IN FULL SWING & WE ARE HAVING OUR OWN OLYMPICS!
We have an exciting Market planned for July 14th at Bowden Park from 1pm to 6pm. We have our fabulous weekly vendors offering farm fresh produce, bread, pastries, eggs, chocolates, meats and seafood. Our weekly vendors are the lifeblood of our Market so please spend some time getting to know them, shopping with them and learning about their passion for the products they offer. They are a fabulous wealth of knowledge! Curious? Fabian can share his love of European pastry and Dutch ingredients. Al can teach you about the importance of bees in our ecosystem and what it takes for him to harvest honey. Susan can share stories of her grandmother’s rugulah recipe that she carries forward. And so much more! Once you learn about the care, patience and love that goes in to each of our vendors’ products, you will have a new appreciation for each of them!
Hungry? Have some authentic Mexican food from Mr. Tamale and eat in the park. Handmade tamales are their specialty! Biweekly vendors Who Is Coffee will bring some locally roasted coffee to educate your palate and Suman from Fork On A Road can teach you all about using ancient cooling foods to brave the heat! Did you miss Sweet Spot last week while they took a vacation? They are back this week. Looking for vegan goodies? Soul Good Confections and The Farmer Foodie can satisfy you with sweet or savory offerings.
Also joining us this week are artisans Havelock Farms with their handmade soaps. Into The Wild Photography will be representing the Melrose Chamber of Commerce sharing her beautiful photos and artwork.
Looking for some fun for your kiddos? We have so much to offer this week! The North Suburban Child and Family Network will be coming this week and weekly thereafter through August 18th with Storytime and Crafts from 3pm to 3:30pm. From 3pm to 6pm in our grassy side area, we have fun for kids of all ages with our Ogre Olympics and the team from Broken Leg Productions. In preparation for their upcoming play Shrek the Musical, they will be selling tickets for their show and running activities and games, including Pin the Tail on “Donkey”. Look for us to be wearing Shrek ears and join in the fun!
Love our weekly live music selections? You will really enjoy listening to the sounds of Junko Ongawa from 3:30 to 5:30. Junko was fabulous at last year’s Market and I know you will love her music!
If you have children with an entrepreneurial spirit, next week July 21st will be our first Children’s Entrepeneur Event! Please stop by the Market tent, sign up with us and share your questions and ideas with us!
