Welcome to Delta Flavor, the unofficial e-newsletter of the Cleveland Farmers Market. Delta Flavor is the term we like to use for the taste of the freshest local produce that can be found in the Mississippi Delta.
Recap of June 2008 Markets:
The Cleveland Farmers Market opened on June 14, 2008 to record crowds and sales. In the first two markets, farmers made over $1,400 and customers purchased a tremendous variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, value-added products, honey, and eggs. There was a bit of a slump on June 28 with many vendors out of town or coping with the hot dry weather.
It seemed that you couldn't open the local newspapers in June without reading a positive article about the Cleveland Farmers Market. Many thanks go out to the Cleveland News Leader's Sarah Coleman and Kristy Kitchings and the Bolivar Commercial's Candrese Jones for their outstanding support. Of course, Strings Design created an eye-catching logo and advertising campaign which also greatly contributed to the early success.
And, the Cleveland Farmers Market received a generous grant from Heifer International to sustain our ongoing mission of growing the market and the community.
