Hope to see you at our Harvest Festival.<br><br>HARVEST FEST - SEP 21 <br>Riverdale Park Farmer's Market is celebrating at the Harvest Festival on September 21st this year. We will have a moon bounce and other entertainment for kids, chef demonstrations, and extended musical entertainment provided by David LaFleur. We also will feature our popular hourly FREE RAFFLE of merchandise from the market.
<br><br>This is the market's annual celebration marking our 9th year of operation. Please join us in thanking our farmers for the bounty of fresh and healthy crops they share with our community. We value our farmers and want them to know that they help make our community a great place to live.
<br><br>The festival takes place during regular market hours, 3-7pm, at the Riverdale Park Farmer's Market, located at Queensbury Rd / Rhode Island Ave in the Town Center parking lot. Feel free to share this announcement with friends who have not yet experienced the market -- what a great way to introduce them to the joys of shopping at our local farmer's market!
<br> <br>SHARE YOUR RECIPES<br>This winter while the fields are asleep, the Riverdale Park Farmer's Market committee will be putting together a new cookbook in celebration of our 10th anniversary next year. We'd love to receive recipes from our customers to share with neighbors and friends. If you have favorite recipes that use fresh market ingredients, please share them with us.
