FB&T Loan Assistant Katie Barnes said she and fellow team members were delighted to host at the market today. “We are always looking for ways to partner with other organizations in the area and give back to the community,” Barnes said. “Farmers Market is a great way to do that as well as support our local farmers and vendors.”

New vendors at the market this year are W7 Farms, providing baked goods and produce; Lydia’s Baked Goods, with baked goods and homemade wares and Cow Pen Bottom Farms, a fig tree farmer with both edible and flowering plants. Also in attendance today were Joshua Tree with woodwork and Papa’s Honey with honey and pollen products. Rounding out the variety of vendors in attendance was VC Farms, Salinas Farms, Hannah’s Berries, and Aunt Fern’s Fried Pies. 

The Hope Farmers Market takes place every Tuesday morning from 7am to 11am, and vendors provide a variety of locally-grown fresh produce, canned items, baked goods, and homemade products.
