Opening Day will be here before you know it

The days are longer, and the sun has not deserted us completely. Slowly we're making our way to spring and the start of a new market season. Looking back at the 2020 market, we can say with complete confidence that it was the worst of times and the best of times. It took immense effort from so many to open the market on time, and stay open, and then extend an extra week. But it paid off so spectacularly, with glorious weather, bountiful harvests and healthy shoppers and vendors. Now, we're beginning to plan our new season, which holds so much promise. We will open a week early – May 8 – so mark your calendars now. And we will entertain the thought of going beyond our October 30 end date. The Farmington City Council has approved the market's new dates; for more details, click here. In the meantime, stay healthy and optimistic that the worst is behind us. We will be back to celebrate.
