2008 Farmers' Markets!

It's that time of the year when the seasonal farmers' markets start up, full of plenty of good, fresh, local produce! Following are three that I've heard mentioned lately; if anyone knows of other good markets in our region, please let me know. As near as I can tell, the details below are accurate, but do correct me if I'm misinformed. Feel free to leave a message in the comments or send me an email at the address in the sidebar.

Susquehanna Valley Growers' Market
Fridays, 12 noon - 5 pm

The SVGM starts on May 16th this year (one week from today). They have a new website (http://GrowersMarket.blogspot.com) and are starting up an email newsletter. If you're interested, email the market at svgmarket [at] gmail [dot] com to sign up or for more information.
