July 3 Market News

Tomorrow's Saturday market will be a bit different, but will still offer the great produce and products you expect.

Because of the Third of July celebration downtown, we will "part the sea" for the pancake feed. Our vendors will be set up on both ends of the block, with the pancake breakfast in the middle. So, you might have to walk a bit more for your goodies. But, on the bright side, we'll have extended hours. We have been asked to be set up by 7 a.m., and will sell until 11 a.m. So, come on down for the pancake breakfast, pick up goodies for your July 4th celebrations, enjoy the games and activities, and make it a day in downtown Clay Center.

What's at tomorrow's market? Red, white, and blue potatoes; cherry and big tomatoes; cucumbers; zucchini; onions; green beans; beets; homemade breads; donuts; buffalo meat; squash; jams and jellies; and much more! We hope you will stop by and make us a part of your Independence Day weekend.

June 5 Market Update

It should be a beautiful morning to come to the Farmers Market, from 8-11 a.m. on the west side of the Courthouse square. We have a lot of veggies making their season debut about now, including potatoes, zucchini, and cucumbers. Others -- the cool season crops -- are nearing the end of their season, meaning this may be the last week to get your fill of fresh lettuce, spinach, asparagus, and radishes.

Did you know the Master Gardeners have something special planned for every Farmers Market? Your guess is as good as mine, as to what they have up their sleeves for tomorrow. Bring the kids down and see what fun activity or yummy treat the Master Gardeners create.

Hope to see you tomorrow!

CC Farmers Market 2010

It's just a matter of weeks until the Clay Center Farmers Markets begin for the 2010 season. Our Saturday market will start up Saturday, May 8, and run every Saturday until October 31. The Saturday market takes place from 8-11 a.m. on the west side of the Courthouse Square.

We had so many customers request an evening market that we decide to give it a try this year. Starting in June, we will be hosting a Wednesday Farmers Market on the nights the Clay Center City Band plays. The Wednesday Market will be from 5-7 p.m. on the east side of Dexter Park, along 7th Street.

Both markets will provide the same great quality and selection of local produce and products, and now hopefully will include a time and location that is most convenient for you.

We are looking forward to the start of the Markets and seeing everyone again. It truly has become a community event. We hope you'll join us on May 8!
