Farmers' Market Re-opens
The Farmers’ Market re-opens today in Hamilton and new and old vendors will be on hand to offer a wide variety of locally grown vegetables, produce and handcrafts.
Organic products are one of the key features of the market this year as well as vegetables without pesticides or chemicals.
“We have a good line of vendors this season and I am very pleased with the response from vendors and from the public who are enthusiastically looking forward to the return of the Farmers’ Market,” Market manager Frances Eddy said.
Bonsai trees, gourmet nuts, baked goods, chickens, eggs, seedlings, endemic plants, hot peppers, honey, fruit jams, and a host other items will be available.
“The Farmers’ Market is now in its fourth year of operation but the concept is still relatively new but we are encouraging the public to come to the market and sample Bermuda made products.” Ms Eddy said.
As the Thanksgiving holiday approaches and Christmas season nears, vendors at the Market will be offering turkeys, poinsettias, Christmas wreaths and other ornaments such as pottery items and wood carved items.
For children there will be pony rides and face paintings and refreshments will be available.
Future plans for the Market include a potato festival to highlight Bermuda based agriculture, a Bermuda authors day and more children’s activities.
The Farmers’ Market is held at the Bull’s Head car park on Canal Road, just north of Masters Limited and runs from 8 a.m. to noon.
