The Fayette Farmers market will be open on the next two Saturdays in its downtown location, on the north side of the Fayette Depot Museum. Lann Stewart, manager of the Fayette Farmers Market, said that there will be fall and winter greens for sale (turnip greens, mustard greens, collards, etc.), and a wide variety of locally grown baked and canned good items. There will also be a few craft items for sale.
The Fayette Farmers Market had a very successful summer season, and plans to reopen sometime in October with a variety of greens, pumpkins, gourds, baked goods and canned goods. Fayette Farmers Market Manager Lann Stewart said that the response to the Saturday market this year was “great,” with more vendors participating and more produce for sale than at last year’s market.
The Fayette Farmers Market began its second season in the downtown Fayette area on Saturday, May 27, with several vendors and lots of customers in attendance.
Two highly-anticipated events are slated to return to the Fayette area this Saturday, May 27 – The Fayette Farmers Market and the opening of The Fayette Aquatic Park. The Fayette Farmers Market moved to downtown Temple Avenue last year, located in the vacant lot just north of the Fayette Depot Museum.
Lann Stewart, who along with his wife Donna own Stewart Farms, is the co-manager of the Fayette Farmers Market. He said that although they were pleased with the move the market made last year to downtown Fayette, they learned several important things and are making plans this year to make the market better than ever, with a wider-variety of fresh, home-grown products.
The grand opening of the 2022 Fayette Farmers Market in the downtown area was a huge success, with local vendors selling out of produce quickly. Each week, additional vendors are expected to participate in the market, and the variety of fresh produce will also increase during the summer. Jim Carlo is busy selling fresh vegetables and herbs to customers.
