Nowata County Farmer's Market Finds New Home

We are excited to announce that Nowata County Farmer's Market has found a new, permanent home. No more wondering and searching us out. You will now be able to find us conveniently located in the Orscheln Farm and Home parking lot every Saturday morning from 8:00am - 12:00pm. Nowata County Farmer's Market is ready for this great move, and eager to provide a great resource to the community. A special thank you goes out to Stacy Epperson, who worked with us.

Nowata County Farmer's Market kicked off our season May 12, 2012. Our farmer's are planting, weeding, watering, and pruning away to bring the community the most delicious and freshest products for your purchasing pleasure.

No room for a garden? No time to tend it? Honestly have no desire to go through all the time and trouble to obtain your fresh fruits and vegetables? Let our farmers help you and your family out!

While it is still early in the season, we have already seen a multitude of fresh eats. From peas, green beans, lettuce and kale, to beets, onions, radishes, new potatoes, even kohlrabi. Don't forget your farm fresh eggs, and homemade jellies while you're at it. Add in some fresh baked goods, and you have the perfect recipe for great healthy eating! The season has started off wonderfully, and can do nothing but get better and more plentiful with each week. Our products are locally grown, or hand made, and the freshest you will find. The only "truck" they arrive on is the good old farm truck, loaded each Saturday morning with freshly picked fruits and vegetables.


I am pleased to announce, that we will be featuring a post for each farmer who is a member of the Nowata County Farmer's Market, so be watching for our "Featured Farmer" posts that will begin very soon.

Have your own garden? Wondering what you will do with your excess? Why not join us as a vendor? Annual dues are a mere $25.00. What better way to share your extras, jelly making, baking, or crafting skills? Swing on by any Saturday and check us out, sign up and join the fun!

Small Farm Update



Sue Gray, Tulsa County OSU Horticulturist, has developed a small farm newsletter for the counties around Tulsa County in Oklahoma (NE Oklahoma). What a great idea! This newsletter will keep our farmers updated from now until October (basically our growing season). The March 28th issue includes pests of the week, book of the week, horticulture tip of the week and much more.

If you want to receive this update, please email: sgray@tulsacounty.org

I hope you are looking forward to this 2011 season of the Nowata County Farmers Market as much as I am!
