Atchison Farmers’ Market
Fresh, Friendly, Local
Open through October 28
Market E-Newsletter, Saturday, September 16, 2017
8 a.m. – noon
Saturday, September 16, has so much going on in Atchison!!! Start your day at the Farmers’ Market, 8 a.m. – noon, shopping for fresh, locally raised vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Baked goods, jams, honey, coffees, locally raised meats, and more.
Special event: Four year old, Brylee Johnson, will be doing a fund raiser for hurricane victims with free will offering for lemonade to go to Hand in Hand for Hurricane Relief for Harvey and Irma victims. Brylee has cousins in the Southeast.
Elvis (Garry Meyer) will be at the Market. Then there is Funky Junk and the Muddy River Music Festival to enjoy the rest of the day!
The Market Manager, Debbie Genova, (green and white striped tent) can swipe your credit, debit or SNAP cards. We participate in the Double Up Food Program and the Kansas Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program. Buy your Farmers Market gift cards ($10) from Debbie and we accept Chamber of Commerce gift certificates. You can register for the October Bundle Give Away at her booth also.
If you are in favor of the Star Bond project providing funds to build a canopy over the Market area, let us know or contact the City Commissioners. This is a project that would not cost the City, but would use a portion of sales tax generated from that area. And . . . it would not only benefit the Market, but whatever other community organization that would like to use that area.
You can support your Farmers’ Market by buying a Plant a Carrot sign to put in your yard and/or “I love my Farmers Market” bumper sticker.

Elias Honey (Chuck Elias) Elias Apiary Going Out of Business Sale
Due to injuries suffered in a vehicle accident last winter, I’m no longer able to physically operate my beekeeping operation on a scale large enough to continue selling at the Atchison Farmers’ Market. I will continue to sell honey from my farm located just south of Atchison at 18512 272 Road. Phone numbers 426-0143 and 367-0375. All honey sold at the Farmers’ Market during September and October will be offered at discounted prices. I’ll certainly miss interacting with the customers I’ve met at the Market.
