Lenten Option

Well, it was a slight oversight for the Dinner and a Show not to include a fish option for dinner on a Friday during Lent. To correct this error, we are now going to offer your choice of beef, chicken, or FISH! If you need to purchase tickets, see the form at the bottom of the flyer.

Vendor Information Meeting

This is just a quick reminder about the Vendor Information Meeting that will be Tuesday at 6:30 PM at St. Andrew's UMC. We are scheduled to have some nasty weather (yet again), so please check back if the weather gets too bad. We'll try to post any cancellation or rescheduling notes here. We'll see you tomorrow.

UPDATE: We're still on for 6:30 PM. Arrive a little early to get a good seat!

Dinner and a Show

In order to raise a little money for the music that we have at the market each week, we are having a fundraiser on April 15, 2011 at Ball Creek Bowl in De Soto. The Dinner and a Show will include a lovely meal and music by various farmers' market musicians. In addition to the great music, there will also be a silent auction. The cost is $20 if you purchase your tickets in advance. Please get in touch with Debby Campbell to purchase your tickets and make your plans: 636.586.4570. If you'd like to post this flyer at your place of business, we would appreciate your help in advertising the event.

Healthy Lunch and Learn

Joyce Rainwater, with Lincoln University, will be presenting on Organic Gardening on April 13, 2011 at noon for a Get Healthy De Soto Healthy Lunch and Learn. The cost of the workshop is $7 and includes a tasty lunch. It will be held at St. Andrew's UMC, and you should call the church office to make a reservation: 636.586.2472.

De Soto Farmers' Market Cookbook

All the recipes that we collected last year are about to be presented in a lovely cookbook. Cookbooks can be ordered now at $12 each or can be purchased after the market opens for $15. To order your cookbook, please send us an email at buyfreshlocal@gmail.com and let us know how many you would like. Below is a photo of what the cover of the cookbook looks like. We all think it is very lovely!
