“This is a true Farmers & Artisan Market – everything for sale is either homegrown or handmade by our local vendors,” said Beth Bear, Director of the Jersey County Business Association. “We are always reminding residents to shop local and I can’t think of a better example than this to help keep money right here in our local economy.”
“Most of last year’s venders are returning again, bringing a wide variety of locally-grown fruits and vegetables, jams & jellies and kettle corn. We’ve also reached out to several possible new vendors, in the hopes that they’ll bring some variety to our market this year. Businesses impacted by the flooding in Jersey County have also been invited to attend so we are hoping to have a really wide variety of shopping options for attendees.”
The Jersey County Farm Bureau will be grilling out on the first Tuesday of each month on July 2, August 6, and September 3, featuring their delicious pork chop sandwiches, pork burgers and chicken kabobs.
