RE: Purdue Farmers Market Opens Thursday, May 12

Local Indiana growers and merchants will be on campus this summer at the Purdue Farmers Market, sponsored by Purdue Physical Facilities. Join us on Thursdays, May 12 to October 27, 2010, from 3 - 6:30 p.m., at Sheetz and Wood Streets, just west of Dick and Sandy Dauch Alumni Center. 

Items expected for sale include fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, jams and jellies, fresh kettle-popped corn, homemade crafts, and annual and perennial plants. The number of growers and amount of produce on a given day depends on the natural progression of the growing season.  To see what is in season and when you can expect some of your favorites, check out the produce calendar at:  http://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/farmersmarket.htm.  Produce that can be expected with the market opening this week include: asparagus, cabbage, kale, lettuce, radishes and spinach.

Help keep the market “green” by bringing your re-usable bags to carry your purchases. 

If you are not able to visit the Purdue Farmers Market on Thursdays you can also visit these other Farmers Market locations:
