Milford Farmers Market kicks off 4th season on Memorial Day Weekend

MILFORD — Starting on May 28 and every Sunday until Oct. 15, the environmental non-profit Air Soil Water will again host the Milford Farmers Market.
This will be their 4th annual market, this year in a new location – The Columns Museum, 608 Broad Street in Milford. The market will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The Columns is a significant cornerstone of Milford and home of the Pike County Historical Society.
The Milford Farmers Market will have local vendors from the tri-state area, live music and educational programs for all ages. The market has a specific goal of keeping local food and sustainable agriculture in the forefront of public consciousness. The market drives home the point that people can demand better food, better health, a better local economy and a more responsible use of land and resources. All of this makes Milford a destination where the farmers market complements great dining, shopping and outdoor recreation.
Each vendor was selected and vetted by the Air Soil Water team and will include an assortment of produce, meats, breads, bakery goods, jams, personal products, and more. All fresh, hand picked, home made, nothing industrial. Offerings will change as the weeks go following the natural growing season for fresh food.
“We are thrilled at the continuous support for our beloved market," said Jolie DeFeis of Air Soil Water. "The Columns Museum’s Director Lori Strelecki embraced us with open arms. It is truly an honor to be part of one of the most historic and significant places in Milford. We have similar missions of serving the community through engagement and education. The Milford Farmers Market has proven to be a weekly destination for locals and tourists. From a business standpoint, it would be the continuation of our mission of keeping dollars in the local economy and drawing people to the area - the epitome of keeping it local.”
The 2017 Milford Farmers Market kicks off Memorial Day Weekend, running every Sunday, rain or shine, through Oct. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Any vendor wishing to participate should send an email to milfordmarketpa@gmail.com as soon as possible with all of the specifics of what you grow/make, location of farm, ingredients, how it’s prepared and any additional information. If approved, you will be sent an application for 2017 season.
