Atchison Farmers’ Market
Fresh, Friendly, Local
Market E-Newsletter, Saturday, October 8, 2016
The weather is supposed to be wonderful this weekend – cool lower 70’s and sunny. The perfect time to come down to the Farmers’ Market between 8 am and noon. Come early and get the best produce, meat, honey, baked goods, coffee and more.
With cooler weather upon us, a casserole sounds good. At the end of this newsletter is a recipe for Yellow Squash Casserole,
It’s a good time to bring the children – to meet their friends – and for you to visit with their parents. Students, come see what Atchison has to offer locally – so you can have an alternative to cafeteria food. Share your recipe ideas with vendors. We always want to learn more to broaden our vegetable horizon.
The market continues on Wednesdays and Saturdays through Saturday, October 29th. See you Saturday morning!
You can still use your Kansas Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition coupons at the Market until our last Market day on Saturday, October 29. Lynn Hoffman, our Market Manager, can swipe your credit, debit, or SNAP cards for tokens you can use as cash at most of the vendors. We also have Atchison Farmers’ Market gift cards (another great Christmas gift) you can use and we accept Atchison Chamber of Commerce gift certificates.
