Winter Soup-a-Palooza

The chill of winter has set in , but the Emporia Farmers Market invites you to warm up with a homemade bowl of soup during their Winter Soup-a-Palooza event . Friends of the Market will be providing a second opportunity for you to enjoy all the favorites including Amy ’ s Sausage and Potato , Creamy Tomato and Beefy Vegetable on Tuesday , February 28 at the Lyon County Extension office meeting room .
According to Market Manager Jessica Hopkins , the annual November event has been so well received by the community , the organization decided to add a second date during one of the coldest months of the year .
“ We have a hard-working group of board members , vendors and volunteers who make Soup-a- Palooza happen each year . It ’ s such a fun event for community members to gather around a hearty bowl of soup , we decided the only thing better than offering this event just once during ‘ coldweather season ’ is to provide the opportunity a second time ,” commented Hopkins .
Business deliveries will be available from 11am to 1pm on the 28th , and additional homebased deliveries will be offered in the evening . The event begins at 11:00am . To reserve your business delivery order , email emporiafm @ gmail . com .
In addition to the upcoming Winter Soup-a-Palooza , the Emporia Farmers Market invites you to shop the best selection of home grown produce , baked goods and handmade items at Waters True Value during winter market season . Shoppers can expect to find a variety of lettuces , spinach , kale , and other assorted greens , along with honey , apples , cider , radishes , carrots , eggs , pies , breads , cinnamon rolls , cookies , granola , muffins and much more ! The indoor market runs from 10:00am to 12:00pm , first and third Saturdays , through April 30 , and is generously sponsored by the Emil Babinger Charitable Trust and Waters True Value .
