May 11, 2008… The Macungie Farmers Market announces the beginning of its 2nd Annual Farmers Market Season June 5th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. at Macungie Memorial Park.
The theme of this year’s Grand Opening is “Fresh From the Farm”, highlighting the fresh locally produced products that will be available at the market. The Macungie Farmers Market hosts producers/growers/artisans of fresh seasonal fruits and berries and a wide variety of specialty produce and cut flowers, along with grass-fed beef and pork, fresh pastured chicken, free range eggs, and goat cheese and dairy. Wines produced by a local vineyard will be available throughout the season as well as baked goods and pastries made using locally produced ingredients. Vegetable & herb plants will be on sale at the Grand Opening, including heirloom tomatoes, peppers, melons, and herbs. Products are brought to market in season, ensuring the freshest, healthiest quality possible.
Along with samplings from the vendors, the June 5th Grand Opening will have live goats and chickens, an antique tractor, the Fieldstone Farm 1931 Model A Farm Truck and Jasper the Bear Macungie Mascot on display. There will be tractor barrel rides around the park for kids, a balloon sculpture artist and a strolling musician.
“When you support the Macungie Farmers Market, you support local small businesses, independent artisans, and local farming” says Jody Hulber, who is chairing a ‘Friends of the Macungie Farmers Market’ group of volunteers who help support the Farmers Market in Macungie. “The market really helps grow community spirit in our area. Best of all is our diverse collection of quality growers and producers, so the food you can buy is absolutely fantastic!”
The Macungie Farmers Market is open every Thursday from 4:00-7:00 p.m. May through September in Macungie Memorial Park. Special thanks to our returning sponsors, Great Bear Bank and Prudential Patt White Real Estate for their commitment to the community! Please come join us for good times and good food!
