The Mount Vernon Farmers Market will hold its final day of the season on October 25. As autumn progresses with cooler weather and the return of school and fall sports, some may overlook the market's continued operation. Despite this, a wide variety of products remain available, including produce, honey, syrup, jellies, baked goods, flowers, and soaps. Seasonal items like pumpkins and mums are also in stock; these can serve as decorations or ingredients for pies and soups.
Several incentive programs are available at the market to support customers. These include SNAP benefits, Produce Perks, the Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program, and tokens from the Knox County Task Force for Older Adults. Interested individuals can visit the market information table for more details.
The market features over 20 local vendors offering products made within a 25-mile radius of downtown Mount Vernon. For further information, Millie Potter can be contacted at farmersmarketmountvernon@gmail.com.
