Autumn is finally here which means winter is just around the corner and it is time to Fill Your Pantry at the Third Annual Florence Farmers Market’s one day bulk buying event. This year we will be indoors at the Siuslaw Middle School auxiliary gym located at 2525 Oak Street in Florence, on Sunday November 6 starting at 12:00 and concluding at 3PM.
Local and regional vendors will provide overwintering storage crops like onions, squash, apples and potatoes, a wide variety of flours, grains and beans, as well as eggs, nuts, goat milk products, baked and specialty foods, honey, mushrooms, blueberries, pickles, jam and coffee beans. To expand your buying options, health and wellness items are being added, items like soaps, lotions, household cleaners and fresh herbal tinctures and hydrosols. Since the market will be indoors this year, we will have music provided throughout the event by Robbie Dee and Terry Kloepfer. Make sure you shop early for the best selection. More information can be found at the Florence Farmers Market website. If you use an Oregon Trail Card or are part of the Prescription Rx Program, we encourage you to attend and shop! Stop by the Market Manager Booth to get your card processed or to pick up vouchers. Once again, we will provide financial scholarships to three Community organizations who supply meals to those in need. These scholarships will allow them to purchase fresh local foods to stock their pantries for the season. We never tire of saying we could not do this without our sponsors. This year these include Peace Health, Nosh Eatery, Shawn Fleming Construction and Rekindled Restorations. For more information, please click the button below.
