Big news for the Ely Farmers Market

Expanded hours this year means more time to find your favorite vendors and perhaps discover some new ones. Formerly running from 5-7 p.m., new hours are 4-7 p.m., every Tuesday from June 2 through Sept. 29.

“We have just seen such an increase in traffic, we felt an earlier start would give patrons more time to shop all of our talented vendors,” said Karen Hamilton, market president. “More and more people see us starting to set up and pull over to see what everyone has to offer!”

Merriam Webster defines a farmers market as a physical, recurring retail marketplace where agricultural producers sell food and farm products directly to consumers. These markets typically feature local growers selling fresh produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, and plants, cutting out middlemen to emphasize community connection and fresh, seasonal food.
