7/7 Ely Farmers Market

We are back to our regular market schedule this week, so we will see you Saturday morning from 8-noon.  Our vendors will have a nice selection of baked goods, fresh summer produce and a few craft items. I heard there was a possibility for sweet corn.  If  I hear anything definite on this important matter, I will post it to the blog (http://elyfarmersmarket.blogspot.com/), our facebook group, and twitter. Don't let the heat keep you away: it only takes 9 steps from your parking spot to the vendors.  It is practically a drive thru :)
 
Thanks,
