Closed for the Season/Possibly Longer

Sorry, due to lack of funding and volunteers, this event has had to stop for now. Maybe down the road someone will get excited about it and open it up again. But that might have to wait until after our bridge is open again.

In the meantime, stop by alaboutsouthpark.com to find out the latest events and come support our businesses trying to hang in there until August 2013 when the bridge reopens.

Market on Wheels closes for this Year

Sorry to tell you that the Market on Wheels will close for the remainder of the 2010 season. The group will be reorganizing, taking stock and planning for a bigger better market next year. If you are interesting in helping, jump in and contact kate@ecoss.org

If you still want local organic veggies from Jose, he’ll be at his commercial plot at Marra Farm every Saturday while the veggies are still growing. You can come meet him there, he’ll pick it fresh right then for you. See him on Saturdays 10am – 2pm. On Sept. 18th he’ll be selling at Fiestas Patrias however at the community center in SP. Matter of fact a bunch of the market folks will be there at the fiesta.

It is with great honor I have had the chance to work on marketing for the market. I have learned a ton about markets, food permits, and what great neighbors I have. I have made some good friends. But I didn’t learn a lick of Spanish even with sitting through so many meetings. Whatup. Oh well. Thanks for the opportunity to work with you all. Come back to hear what is happening with the market.
