Farmers’ market coming to Purdy Tuesday nights
June 10,2015

Anybody who is interested in some farm fresh food will be excited to know that the quaint town of Purdy will be hosting a farmers’ market this summer beginning in the middle of July.
The Purdy City Council gave the go ahead at Monday night’s meeting and mentioned they thought the farmers’ market is a great idea. Charles Fletcher and James Fuller are behind this operation and hope that it will bring people from neighboring towns to come and enjoy the fresh foods that Purdy will have to offer.
The market will be held in the parking lot by the Purdy Library and is going to be sponsored by the Purdy Spanish Program.
The farmers’ market will be open to anybody who wants to sell their items, and there isn’t a fee to join. People wanting to join are just asked to help donate their time to the Purdy Recycling Center for at least 7 and a half hours each year.
Fletcher and Fuller are hoping that the market will serve as a helping hand to the Purdy School District and the recycling program and vice versa. They also hope it gives everyone an idea of community service, along with getting people more involved and excited about town festivities.
The farmers’ market will be held on Tuesday nights from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. Fletcher and Fuller believe Tuesday nights will work well because they won’t be competing with other neighboring farmers’ markets, that usually take place on Saturday or Sunday.
The City of Purdy Facebook page will be posting updates and exact dates of upcoming farmers market.
