Anastasia for Manson's Hall
weekly Friday Market 12-3pm
triple-header vendor feature: our PRODUCE growers! - all organic and grown right here on the island
Sara of Wildflower Produce grows food using regenerative agriculture techniques at Reef Point Farm (and has a farm stand there too). It's Sara's 8th commercial season
Sarah Salgado grows only heirloom varieties of all her veggies and dresses up her stand with artistic flair, in her 5th season at the market.
Anne and Sam of Big Fir Farm have been farming on Cortes for 9 years and grow on 1/3 acre, fertilizing with cow poop from the farm in a closed-loop system. It's their 8th market season.
Wander through all three of our Friday market zones (indoors, parking lot, and the treed area) then head on over to the live music at the Village Commons tent next door, 1-2:30pm. There is shade and picnic tables!
If you would like to vend at the market, reach out well in advance to anastasiamansonshall.org
