Farmers market season is just around the corner! We will kick off the year with their first Market on Thursday July 8th from 5:30-7:00 PM at the Burke City Park. In addition to shopping with vendors, The Calamity Jane will be serving a BBQ meal for sale including pulled pork on a hoagie or a bun, broccoli grape salad, coleslaw, chips, and a drink. She will also have some homemade desserts and take and bake enchiladas.
You will find many old and new friendly vendor faces at the Market this year, and you can read all about them on the vendor page of BAFM’s website at www.burkeareafarmersmarket.com. Shoppers can expect a food truck or vendor at every market plus fun things each week like pop up crafting, free s’mores, and a bounce slide. There will be plenty of fun for kids and grownups alike, so keep your eyes out for our schedule of events for your family.
The market will also bring you presentations on food and farming topics, live music, and cooking demonstrations. One way to stay connected with the market is by following their Facebook page Burke Area Farmers Market and Instagram account @burkeareafarmersmarket.
Vice President Fran Hill explained how much the market appreciates the love and support they get from all the customers and communities that come from all over south central South Dakota and north central Nebraska to shop and socialize.
“Without our customers, there just wouldn’t be a Market. Join us again this year starting July 8th through September 30th – we promise you won’t be disappointed.”
