Hello everyone,
The planning for our 5th year of the De Soto Famers' Market is under way. Any one interested in the Market and would like to share ideas or has questions about being a Vendor, please meet with us this Thursday, November 8th, 6-7pm. We will be meeting at St. Andrew's UMC at 1004 Rock Rd, in De Soto.
We will try to keep the meeting short but need your input for next year so it is important that we hear from you, especially if you are a current Vendor.
Meet-November 8th 6pm
1004 Rock Rd, De Soto.
636-586-4570 with questions about the meeting.
Thanks,
Cindy Valle
Market Manager

Market will be open until Oct 20th
The Farmers' Market is still going strong. This week, Sept 29th, is our Art Mart week in which we invite an unlimited amount of crafters to join us. Come and see their handcrafted wares and enjoy the live music.
St. Andrew's UMC will host a breakfast sponsored by the De Soto Ministerial Alliance. The Ministerial Alliance needs your support to help those in need in our area.
The Market is winding down but the fall crop of produce is in abundance for some of our produce Vendors. You just can't get it any fresher than picked Saturday morning, bought Saturday morning and on your table Saturday morning!
Some of your Vendors also have fresh baked goods for you to enjoy. To go along with the baked goods the Vendors have fresh, local honey, homemade jellies and jams.
Handmade crafts include quilts, baby blankets, jewelry, hair ties, hats, aprons, dish towels, children's customs and clothing and ornamental crafts.
Did I mention beef? Our beef Vendor is in the Market this week with fresh, frozen, USDA inspected, farm raised beef. You can't beat the taste of farm fresh beef.
We have a Kid's Korner from 9-11am. The children can make a craft while you shop.
If you haven't visited the Market yet this year, please take a Saturday in the next 4 weeks to come out and see what the Market has to offer. It still is the best place to be on Saturday morning!
We will be open every Saturday until our last Market day, October 20th.
