Rockford Farmers' Market Opening June 4, 2011

The Farmers' Market will begin on the 4th of June, 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., and continue every Saturday until September 17th in Rockford town Park. All "Backyard Gardeners" are invited to participate in the Market as are the specialized Craftsmen. Mary-Lou Benson said,
"Although the goal of the Farmers' Market is to provide fresh and affordable produce for the people of Rockford and the surrounding area, we would also encourage those who have special talents in craftsmanship to display them and, perhaps, profit from them as well."
