Edgewater Farmer's Market

School starts Monday! I will try and contain my glee at this joyous event! The Edgewater Farmer's Market is having some special vendors this weekend in preparation for back to school!

The Sheriff's Department will be on hand for child fingerprinting, DARE will have a booth and there will be back-to-school prize give aways. Bring your child for a $5 'back to school' haircut. There will also be a classic car show and a free concert.

So grab some produce, hand made crafts, coffee, hot dogs, seafood and enjoy the special events!

The Edgewater Farmer's Market is held at Hawks Park on S. Ridgewood and Turgot.

Edgewater Farmer's Market

My son had a basketball game this morning so I took the opportunity to hit the Edgewater Farmer's Market. It is located in the parking lot of the Hawk's Park Recreation Building on Turgot. Easier way to find it, act like you are going to the YMCA, it is right there on US1. It is much smaller than the one on Canal Street but for me that makes it easier. It is also open later until 2pm which for me is also a positive. There are three or four produce vendors, one has organic vegetables and spices which I like. Their prices are no higher than the others and much less than Publix. Today there was fresh shrimp and seafood, plants and orchids and even some arts and crafts. I went with twenty dollars and came home with six. I got produce for the week including the ingredients for my very favorite vegetarian chili.
