EG Farmers Market Returns With Tacos, Bluegrass And Balloons

At 5 p.m. this past Monday, the East Greenwich Farmers Market was in more than full swing: it was positively humming. Pizza was baking, musicians were strumming, and vendors were selling. That school had just let out for summer and the weather was perfect were icing and a scoop of ice cream on the cake.

Our own (ok, I've got to just say it) charming farmers market is back.

There were, happily, several familiar vendors, including Lucky Foot Ranch produce, the Coffee Guy, and Pat's Pastured pastured-raised meat and poultry. But there were some exciting additions. Talullah's taco stand, a seafood vendor and Emmy Nutting, all of 9 years old, making balloon animals for a highly appreciative crowd.

The market will be on Academy Field beside Rector Street every Monday afternoon from 3 to 6 p.m. through October. Hooray!
