Ferryville Farmers Market to hold organizational meeting March 5

The Ferryville Farmers Market is holding an organizational meeting Monday, March 5 from 9-11:30 a.m. at the Ferryville Village Hall, State Hwy. 35, Ferryville WI. Anyone interested in being a vendor, as well as all present vendors at Ferryville Farmers Market, may attend.

Market Manager Robert Jelinek has organized the meeting to begin working together to launch another successful 2018 market season. This meeting is for those who have ever thought about growing some extra produce in their garden, wanted to try being a vendor or need help getting started with either.

Larry and Mary Wilson of Richard’s Orchards will talk about “Getting started with a Gangbuster Garden”.  A member of the Crawford County Master Gardeners will be present to participate in this discussion as well.

Judy and Larry Hurda of Hurda’s Kountry Krafts are the leaders for the crafters' portion of the meeting to share their suggestions to experienced and new crafters wanting to be vendors at the Farmers Market but need help getting started.

The first market is scheduled for May 19, to coincide with Rummage Along the River. The Ferryville Farmers Market is held in Sugar Creek Park every Saturday from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. May 19-October 27 this year.

Ferryville Farmers Market received a grant from the Crawford County Community Fund to help with growing the market for the 2018 season. For more information contact Robert Jelinek at 608-874-4532 or by email at robertjelinek880@gmail.com.
