Five years ago this week, the Westover Farmers Market rang its opening bell.  Five! Years! Can you believe it?

The market has seen a few changes since that first summer – some new vendors, some new configurations, and an ever changing cast of musical acts. But week in and week out it has served up the freshest produce and goodies. It has provided friends and neighbors a good excuse for a Sunday morning meet-up, rain or shine. And slowly but surely it has become part of the neighborhood fabric.

This Sunday, May 7, the market reverts to its the summer schedule, from 8 am to noon. Please remember that the summer market occupies much of N. McKinley St., permitting northbound traffic only into the parking lot behind the Westover shopping center.

So come on down and help celebrate the 5th anniversary.  See you at the market!

The Westover Farmers Market continues on Sunday, December 4, but with new winter hours. The market will open at 9 am and continue until 1 pm with all the vendors you know and love. Check out the WFM winter market map.

The final Westover Farmers Market raffle of the season will take place this Sunday, October 30.  As usual, purchase at least $5 in goods at any booth and receive a raffle ticket. Write your name and number on the ticket and deposit it in the bin at the WFM tent. Drawings will be held every 30 minutes.

But wait! Kids who come dressed in Halloween attire will get extra tickets and there will be a few (scarily good?) prizes for best costumes. A ghoulish time for all – see you at the market.

Free stone peaches, now appearing at the Westover Farmers Market. Sure to cure the August blues. Come down tomorrow 8 to noon and get your peach on.

We’re in the early summer season when soft fruits appear in the market. The bountiful strawberry crop of the past several weeks is ending. But blackberries, raspberries, cherries and other berries are taking their place in the farmers’ stands. And there is the possibility of a few early peaches! Recommend you visit the Westover Farmers Market early Sunday to have the best selection of seasonal fruits.

For those of you staycationing this Memorial Day, come on down to the market to sample the latest in whats fresh and good. We’ll be there, 8 am to noon, enjoying the arrival of summer.

Its fresh, its here, so come down and get some! Can’t ask for better produce to start the season.

In case the weather confused you about the “summer” market opening last week, come celebrate tomorrow at WFM, 8 am to noon. While you’re making the rounds, check out two of the new vendors joining us for the summer: Twogoodavocados and Bonita Woods Wellness Institute.

See you at the market.

Its officially summer at Westover Farmers Market, weather notwithstanding. The market hours beginning Sunday, May 1, are 8 am to noon. See you at the market!
