Avoca Main Street Farmers Market TENTH ANNIVERSARY and Call for Vendors

Avoca Main Street Farmers Market Welcomes Return of Growers, Food & Farm Producers, & Customers

The Avoca Main Street Farmers Market will return to North Elm Street on June 5, 2024 and continue every Wednesday evening from 5-7 p.m. until September 25, 2024. The market will once again be featuring fresh local produce, baked goods, honey, fresh cut flowers, homemade soaps, crafts, and prepared food truck meals from farmers, food producers, and local artisans. The Avoca Public Library will offer family programming and the market will feature musical performances and other all-ages entertainment.

The farmers market brings residents and visitors out into the Main Street of town, keeping their dollars local. Amber Mohr, Avoca Main Street Director, says “as an economic device, farmers markets are an excellent way for farmers and food producers to test their products on the market and establish a customer base for a viable business.”

Avoca Main Street has direct examples of this in Raddberry’s Bakery & Café, which will open in 2024. Owner Andrea Radd started as a market vendor and invested her income into acquisition and renovation of a stable storefront businesses.

Market Manager Linda Schumacher adds, “As the season begins to warm we all look forward to seeing our neighbors and shopping from our local producers. The Avoca Main Street Farmers Market is a great excuse to visit our beautiful Main Street District. We are really looking forward to celebrating our tenth anniversary with our vendors and customers.”
