At the Farmington Growers' Market you can buy or sell locally grown fruit, vegetables, and herbs. Produce must be grown by the vendor within 100 miles of Farmington. Reselling of produce is not allowed. Local produce is harvested ripe at its fullest flavor from July until fall. The market offers backyard gardeners to large-scale farmers a place to take their produce. It is a fun way for consumers to buy fresh produce. Come by and meet and support your neighbors and local growers. Growers are always willing to share recipes and growing tips.
Do not expect to find chile, corn or tomatoes to be at the first market. Those great products take a longer time to grow. Think local weather. Do expect to find carrots, radishes, garlic, honey, beets, greens and other cool season produce when the market first opens. The number of vendors and the amount of produce will increase each week as the season progresses. The type of produce will also vary along with the season. For information on The Farmington Growers' Market contact the market manager at (505) 326-1808 or (505) 330-8657 or by email at Growersmkt_farmington@yahoo.com.
Be sure to mark your calendars with the County's Markets schedules. Visiting a market is a great way to spend some time. You never know who you will see there. Be sure to get fresh with your local market this season.
