Welcome To Five Points Farmers Market!
We are excited to introduce the first year of the Five Points Farmers Market! Please come join us on Saturdays with your friends and family. We have several different vendors with some great local products. We will also have guest vendors coming every week, so there will always be something new! Breakfast and brunch will be served at NOFO every Saturday of the market. Breakfast will be from 8am-10am and Brunch will be served from 10am-3pm. We look forward to seeing all of you there!
It's August!! Need we Say More...
It is scorching outside! The last thing you probably want to do is cook these days. Thankfully, you can still have a satisfying meal made from the ingredients sold from our Market vendors without having to turn on the stove! See this week's recipe of the week for one of summer's best "cooked" meals. This week, the Market welcomes two new guest vendors: Local Yogurt and The Forest Foundation.
Local Yogurt
It's going to be hot Saturday and Local Yogurt's going to help you cool off. Ted Domville will be in our Guest Vendor tent with his delicious frozen yogurt made from Grade A skim milk with live cultures at only 100 calories per 4 oz. serving. Ted uses local granola, fruits, berries, & raw honey and his yogurt is kosher and gluten-free. Taste his tart original, bilberry, chocolate and peanut butter yogurts this Saturday and see for yourself how good Local Yogurt can be.
The Forest Foundation
This Saturday, Market shoppers will have an opportunity to buy handmade, fair trade, sustainable crafts at our Guest Vendor tent. Sold by the Forest Foundation, a nonprofit organization, the profits go to support projects that provide environmental education, "green" business development and projects that empower women. Check out their handmade bags, hats, papermache animals and such and feel really good about buying yourself a little something.
