Townsend Farmers' Market
Author: Chris Hettinger, Farmers Market
Townsend’s Farmers’ Market has been operating for twelve years. As many as 100 to 150 customers walk through the market each week. That is great exposure for the person hoping to sell their products. There is still room for several more vendors. The cost is only $5 per day, to park and sell your wares. It is a real bargain compared to many of the other area markets. Contact Chris (406-422-7933) ahead of time so she can make sure what you are selling is allowable, and that you will have a place to park.
If you grow it, make it or bake it here in Broadwater County, you can sell it at the Farmers’ Market. Only a few restrictions apply. Garden produce, various baked goods, jams and jellies, soap, eggs, milk, clothing, even fancy mushrooms. The fresh produce items such as greens, onions, strawberries etc are now coming in. Each week more will show up as gardens mature.
The market is handicap accessible! If you are in your car, you don’t even have to get out. The vendors will come take your order, prepare it, and bring it back to your vehicle.
Take a couple minutes out of your busy Thursday to buy some delicious home grown food and other wares. Or if you feel the urge to visit all the friends you haven’t seen for a while, come on down! 3:00 – 6:00 pm every Thursday, from now until September 29, located north of the Copy Cup on Front Street in Townsend.
