Here are some ideas of what you can plant this weekend and through the rest of the Summer. (and remember the first day of the Jerome Farmers Market is June 2nd!)
Now that the 2017 Jerome Farmers Market is officially at an
end, we want to express our thanks to the wonderful patrons of this past
season. Your loyalty and generosity and encouragement have helped us through
another year. When we leave the market at the end of the day, we feel absolute
joy, and hope you have enjoyed yourselves as well. It’s wonderful to be a part
of this “Feel Good” operation.
We are busily putting the gardens to bed. Before
we finish however, we are privileged to thank the following businesses who were
so generous with their donations for the Harvest Festival this year:

About the Farmers Market
Nine years ago local resident, Kathy Bartholomew and a few of her very talented friends and family decided to open the Jerome Farmers Market. Kathy and her family had visited many farmers markets in Utah, Colorado, California, and Oregon. She knew that Jerome with its expansive community of farmers, small business owners, and artisans had all the ingredients to open a successful outdoor market. Since then they have had the opportunity to showcase talented local artisans and agriculturalists. We've also been the benefactors of many locally owned and operated businesses as they have shown their support through sponsorships and donations. Every penny we receive goes right back in to creating a great market for you.
