Bayfield Farmers Market Met First Year Goals

It sounds like the Bayfield's Farmers Market will be running next year.

Market Manager Joan Brady is quite pleased with the community response to their first year of operation.

Vendors set up every Friday on Clangregor Square, from the May 24 weekend to the weekend after Thanksgiving.

Brady explains she had two specific goals when she started the market; that it be producer-based, and that it be community-oriented.

She says both of those goals were met.

They operated on a very limited budget this year and Brady says they'll spend time this winter looking for ways to expand their promotion of the Bayfield Farmers Market and be even better next year.

Brady says a lot of their business came from cottagers coming in to the village every Friday night and stopping at the market on Clangregor Square...
