A sweet treat stars at the Market Saturday
We’re at the halfway point of the Market season this Saturday, August 1. And we’re celebrating with an old-fashioned treat very appropriate for a gathering of farmers and town citizens. It’s an Ice Cream Social, which began in this country in the mid-1800s.
In fact, the words “ice cream sociable” first appeared in print around 1873, though the practice of hosting church and sewing-circle socials with ice cream was widespread by the late 1860s.
Leave it to the Farmers Market to keep the tradition going. Come celebrate with us on Saturday!
We are an award-winning market and a trusted source of healthy, local and sustainable produce. We offer a vibrant marketplace with music and special programs that create a nourishing community connection. We are open rain or shine or snow from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays through November 2, at the Sundquist Pavilion at 33113 Grand River Ave. in downtown Farmington.
