Market Happenings


And the excitement continues at the market in our fourth week of the season!

If you haven't stopped in yet, you are missing out on some very exciting Tuesday evenings.

"Color Light Theory" has been entertaining us for the past couple of weeks with their toe tapping and hula hoop swinging beats.

"Color Light Theory" can be found at the Market between 6-8pm


Last week we also had some other energetic musicians, Norm Bull and Mike Carrington, providing us with wonderful sounds that helped relax the atmosphere even more. If you too are interested in playing some music at the market stop by the Hamilton-Lauraville Main Street tent and tells us about you and your music!

When you stop by the Market this week make sure to check out our brand new street mural, on Harford Road. The mural is the city's first horizontal street mural and connects the Hamilton-Lauraville corridor to its agricultural past and present. The mural was painted this past Sunday during the Lauraville Business Association Block Party and was lead by artist Whitney Frazier and other members of Hamilton Arts Collective. Thank you to everyone that was involved, you did a great job!

YOUR favorite farmers market

No matter which farmers market you attend, although we hope that you are coming to ours, you come for a reason.


That reason may be to get local fruits, vegetables, eggs, or any variety of meat.

That reason could be to grab breakfast, lunch, dinner, or any meal in-between from a valued vendor.

Hamilton Bakery providing us with fresh baked goodies, as well as refreshing lemonade, all with a smile.


That reason could be to socialize, hang out with neighbors, or to meet new people.

Whatever that reason is, it is important to support your favorite markets. The American Farmland Trust is holding their annual "America's Favorite Farmers Market" contest and you can help get your favorite farmers markets noticed by voting for them online. When you support your local farmers markets you aren't just standing up for healthy produce and regional farmers, but you are also supporting and saving the agricultural land that produce your favorite fruits, vegetables, and grains and provides food for other animals. So go ahead and vote for the farmer, the market, and your support for the land!
