Staff from Wake County Human Services Department will be at the Wake Forest Farmers Market Saturday, Sept. 5, to entertain children with crafts and to offer nutritional information to their parents. Of course, parents who are at the market probably already know the benefits of fresh local produce and local humanely raised meats.
The market will also have a special event in two weeks. On Saturday, Sept. 19, the market will host a local craft market, and some of the featured vendors include A Stitch Niche, Alpaca Dreams, Graceful Organization, Jewels of Turtle Mist Farm, Kookie, Papercuts, Painted Chicks, Poppy & Purl, Redman’s Pottery, Rose Trail Images and Serenity Meadows Farm. There may be more by Sept. 19. You can see all the vendors for the craft market and the farmers market at http://wakeforestmarket.org along with the descriptions of the vendors’ wares.
This week the live music will be provided by Dave Ellis, and you will enjoy it as you stroll through the vendor tents set up in the Renaissance Plaza parking lot at the corner of Elm and Brooks streets. New visitors will be amazed at the variety of offerings from ripe peaches to honey to seasonal vegetables to breads and baked goods to handmade soaps to pasture-raised meats to seafood fresh from the coast.
