Holiday Happenings

The holiday season is fast approaching (I know, it could slow down a little),
and there are a few opportunities for the market to be open for holiday happenings.

Exciting news came today that our new produce vendor, Jimmy Thomas from Clover will be offering the very popular Indian River (Florida) produce,
starting this Saturday, November 21 at the market.
This includes freshly picked ruby red grapefruit, navel oranges, and tangerines.
They will be available in 5 lb. bags at approx $1 per lb.
Pre- orders can be made for bags as well as entire cases.

Back by popular demand...the tree lot will be returning to the market again this year. It was a huge success last year!
We will offer fresh cut, mountain grown trees. Bring the family to the lot
and enjoy a cup of cider and pick up a wreath too.
The tree lot is scheduled to open daily beginning Saturday, November 28.
Also, some of the regular market vendors have expressed the interest in being at the market
on Saturdays before the holidays offering gift and holiday decorating items. The market will be open from 9AM-Noon beginning No

The Moonlight Market will be open Saturday, December 12 from 5-8PM, in conjunction
with the "Christmas in Olde York" tour of holiday homes.
10 vendors participated in this event last year and it was such a success
that we have decided to make it an annual event.

A new season is ahead and YOUR market needs creative input, organizational skills, and good ideas in general from its volunteers. The market has such huge potential and our wonderfully, charming community is the perfect backdrop for a thriving market. You have all seen first hand the type of gathering place the market is on Saturday mornings during produce season, and with your help and ideas we can easily create and offer that same atmosphere all season long, and even turn our market into a year-round opportunity for our local growers and artisans in the future.

Please consider being apart of an Advisory Board for the York Downtown Farmers Market. As a small group of dedicated and truly interested and enthusiastic people, you can help us with ideas, promotion, recruiting, and programs. The market is sponsored by
York Downtown Business Assoc and is supported by the City of York.

If interested, please join me and come have a cup of coffee
on Saturday, November 21 at 9 AM
at Jasmine's Cafe, 8 N Congress St, (downtown) York.
Please RSVP.
