Farmers Market Coming to Downtown

It's official---a Farmers Market is coming to Clayton's Town Square in the spring.

Town Manager Steve Biggs said rules, regulations and other details have all been worked out between the town and the Market's Steering Committee, clearing the way for the sale of locally-grown produce on Saturday mornings downtown.

Organizers, who intend to launch the Farmers Market on April 4, will pay the town a dollar for use of Town Square this year. Biggs said a plan is in place to move the Market to the proposed new aesthetic space at the corner of Lombard and Main Streets for its second year.

Organizers envisions a farmers market of 10 to 15 vendors selling a variety of fresh produce and other farm products on Saturday mornings from April through October.
