IF YOU GO New Albany Farmers Market New Albany Farmers Market 202 E. Market St. 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturdays • Arrive early if you can. Farmers can only bring so much to the market. Once it’s gone, it’s gone...until next week. Or the next growing season. • Pick up a coffee or iced tea from Quill’s and then walk across the street to start a leisurely stroll around the market. • Do a once-over first. Unless you see what you want immediately, compare prices and options. Then, go back and make your purchases. • Try new things. And ask questions if you’re unsure how to eat or cook it. • Be prepared to see people you know – and enjoy the face-to-face interaction (that’s half the fun!). • Let your little ones help pick what you purchase. Ensuring they’re involved will be beneficial for everyone. • Dress in layers. And don’t forget the sunscreen. • Thank the farmers and vendors for taking the time and care to be there. We need them as much as they need us.
