Schlafly Farmers Market Opens Next Wednesday
The market is one of the earliest to open in the market season in the St. Louis area. Market Master, Brian DeSmet, gives a report.
On Wednesday, April 4 from 4-7 p.m., the Schlafly Farmers Market opens for the start of the 2012 farmers market season.
The Schlafly Farmers Market, located in the parking lot of the , continues its tradition of being one of the earliest producer-only farmers markets in the St. Louis region.
The 2012 season marks the market’s ninth season at the Bottleworks and the market –previously the Maplewood Farmers Market – is being re-branded as the Schlafly Farmers Market.
Since the market is part of Schlafly’s Sustainability Program and has been hosted at the Bottleworks since its inception, we decided the name should reflect its close connection with Schlafly Beer. Schlafly is proud not only to produce great local products, but to support farmers and other businesses doing the same.
New vendors this season include Art House Coffee, MOFU Soy Beanery and Windy Lake Farm.
