Market vendors and volunteers came out to help with the Adopt-A-Highway clean up. The Market has adopted 1 mile of Hwy 110 near Fountain City Road.  If you haven’t seen the sign, please look for it to remind you to shop at the DeSoto Farmer’s Market.

Market Closed till April 2013

The De Soto Farmers’ Market steering committee will host a vendor and community meeting this Thursday, November 8th at 6pm.  The purpose of the meeting is to get both vendor and community input for the 2013 Market.  Please come and meet with us and we promise to keep the meeting short.  If you have ideas or questions for the Market, now is the time to hear from you.  Part of the agenda is to set the Market calendar of events so this is a very important meeting.  We welcome new people who are interested in the Market either as a vendor or a shopper and will have information available.  Hope to see you Thursday night.
