A bounty of fresh crops are in season prompting Blountstown Main Street members to expand the downtown farmers’ market to every Saturday throughout the summer months.
The River Valley Marketplace features fresh produce, home baked items, handmade crafts, original artwork, and homegrown plants, along with live entertainment.
Previously open just once a month, the market will now be open EVERY Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon in the greenspace next to Wakulla Bank.
The marketplace was a big hit when it opened last fall. There have been a wide variety of booths, but the crowds are asking for more fresh produce. If you are a farmer or have a garden and would like to make some extra dollars, bring your goods to the River Valley Marketplace.
Vendor spaces are completely FREE, but there are some requirements:
- Absolutely no flea markets or yard sales.
- The vendor is responsible for all their set up items such as tables, tents, etc. There is no electricity. If you use a tent, it must be white or beige so we can create a cohesive look.
- Produce must be vendor grown and sold.
- Please set up a nice presentation at your booth. There are limited spaces available for truck tailgate vegetable sales.
If you would like to be a vendor, you must register in advance. Again, there is no fee, but you must apply.
Also, Main Street is seeking carriage rides, as well as entertainers to perform.
