Farmer Market Opens in Emporium Saturday

For the second summer in a row, Emporium will host a Farmers Market on Fourth Street.  The first vendor will set up Saturday, July 26 in the middle of Emporium.  Uhl’s 4 Star Farm will have items grown at their farm in Kersey.

The chamber of commerce invites others to set up in the same location. Last year Alpaca Creations sold hand knitted and handspun yarn.  “It is hoped that more vendors will take advantage of the prime downtown space offered by the owner of the vacant lot,” says executive director Tina Johns Solak.  There is no fee.

This once a week venture provides those holding farmer market vouchers a local place to redeem the certificates.  The farmers market will be open 9am-noon each Saturday as long as the vendors have items to sell.
