Farmers market season is just around the corner! The Burke Area Farmers Market will kick off the year with their first Market on Thursday July 7th from 5:30-7:00 PM at the Burke City Park. In addition to shopping with vendors, there will be a meal for purchase by Chubby’s food truck, a kids’ coloring contest, and live music from our friends Jerry Squared!
You will find many old and new friendly vendor faces at the Market this year, and you can read all about them on the vendor page of BAFM’s website at www.burkeareafarmersmarket.com. Shoppers can expect a food truck or vendor at every market plus fun things each week like little free library days, free s’mores, and a veggie tattoos. There will be plenty of fun for kids and grownups alike – and you’ll be able to beat the heat at the new splash pad this year.
The market will also bring you presentations on food and farming topics, live music, and recipe samples. One way to stay connected with the market is by following their Facebook page Burke Area Farmers Market and Instagram account @burkeareafarmersmarket.
If you have questions about shopping or participating in the Market as a vendor, you can reach them by phone or email at (605) 830-5039 or burkeareafarmersmarket@gmail.com.
Board Vice President Fran Hill explained how much the market appreciates the love and support they get from all the customers and communities that come from all over south central South Dakota and north central Nebraska to shop and socialize. “Without our customers, there just wouldn’t be a Market. Join us again this year starting July 7th running through September 29th – we promise you won’t be disappointed!”
