2012 Market Season Off to a Good Start!

The Wayne State University Farmers Market kicked off on an unusually pleasant day--70 degrees and sunny!  Our customers showed up in droves to get lunch and shop for dinner! The market featured greens, cut flowers, rhubarb, strawberries, other vegetables, potted plants, and lots of baked goods and hot and cold prepared foods. Come down and say hello to WSU market staff at the SEED Wayne tent!

The Market needs Volunteers!

Tasks include setup, take down, customer surveys, and more!

Please sign up for 2 hour slots starting 10:30 AM and ending 4:30 PM. Sign up with Charles Lisee at ctlisee@wayne.edu

 

Be 'Tote'ally Cool! Reduce plastic bags!

Now that you shop every week at the Wayne State Wednesday Farmers Market, why not bring your canvas or other reusable tote bag to the market?

Don't shop every week? Keep a bag in your office for when the impulse strikes!

Have extra tote bags languishing at home? Drop them off at the SEED Wayne tent. We will distribute them to shoppers for free.  Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle plastic bags at your farmers market!
