The Ellisville Farmers Market will be held on Thursdays afternoons from June 2, 2011 through mid October at the Bluebird Park on Keifer Creek Road. We will be featuring locally produced food items, vegetables, fruits, herbs, baked items and more. Along with the local produce there will be demonstrations, movies and the kid's market program. The farmer’s market website with up to date information is at: www.ellisvillefarmersmarket.org.
Market Master Rene Sackett, along with the City of Ellisville, are excited about a bigger and better 2011 season in Bluebird Park. The community pool, tennis courts, playground, trail system and amphitheatre are all located in proximity to our new Farmer's market area. Both Rene and the City are committed to bringing the local community together each Thursday for a successful and fun market experience. In addition Rene is working with SLOW FOOD's St Louis Chapter this season hopes to bring an educational element to the Market.
