Farmers Market & Multicultural Bazaar

CLOSED FOR THE SEASON

A big thank you to all of our visitors and vendors for the 2010 Farmers Market & Multicultural Bazaar season!

 

Every Sunday through October, the JFCS campus will be the location for a Farmers Market & Multicultural Bazaar, featuring produce, farm goods, flowers and herbs, as well as handmade or imported crafts from around the world.  This market is unique because it acts as an “incubator” for local multicultural artisans who are participating in the JFCS microenterprise program to help build their assets and expand their businesses. In addition, different immigrant cultures will periodically feature events and entertainment. 

 

For future Heritage Sundays scheduling, please contact Keith Bertrand at 452-6341


Don't forget to become a fan of our Farmer's Market Facebook page!
