Lunch is served at the Chewelah Farmers Market!


Lunch is served at the Chewelah Farmers Market! Starting this week from 11:30 to 5:30 on the grounds of St. Paul Lutheran Church, you will find healthful and delicious prepared foods for your dining pleasure. We are welcoming a trained chef and veteran vendor from the Portland Farmers Market, who will be preparing an array of fresh salads with homemade dressings; tapenades and hummus served with artisan bread; and grilled hot dogs if simpler fare is what you have in mind. And starting next week, you can look for a vendor providing grilled corn-on-the-cob, chicken skewers and bratwurst. So, plan on stopping by the market for a quick lunch, and pick up some fresh, local ingredients for your dinner.
There is a rumor that we might have peaches and raspberries at this week’s market! You’ll also find apricots, cherries and summer’s best tomatoes. There will be plenty of summer squash and tender salad greens. And that delicate scent in the air will be lavender, lavender crafts and handmade soaps. Buckets of cut flowers, watercolors, handmade bags and totes, unique beaded horses, beautiful hand-crocheted shawls and natural fertilizer are just a few of the many interesting, local products available at the Chewelah Farmers Market.
The Chewelah Farmers Market will be hosting a Vegetable Garden Tour on Saturday, July 25 at 3:00. Everyone is invited to caravan to three gardens located to the south of town. There will be a potluck B-B-Q at the final location- bring something to grill, something to share and a chair and enjoy some good gardening conversation! We will meet at St. Paul Lutheran Church at 3:00. For more information, contact Shelly at 935-8911 or email mailto:whoabgflla@aol.com.
