Farm fresh goodness and more will be available for purchase on the Hope Town Square in downtown Hope from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 18 with the return of the monthly Hope Farmers Market. 

Bring the kiddos and plan for an afternoon of shopping and fun with story time hosted by Faith Schaumburg where she'll read "Up, Down, and Around" and "The Children's Garden: Growing Food in the City" on the bandstand starting at 1:15 p.m., a FREE craft-making tent where the kids can create their own vegetable stamp on cardstock and make a seed packet, and don't miss Miss Polly's Music Class at 2 p.m. in the shelter house. 

Organizers of July's market are excited to welcome a variety of returning and new vendors, including MT Farms, LLC, which will be offering pasture-raised pork products, including bacon and Italian sausage; Sewn by Hanna; Designer's Edge by Destini; R&L Freeze Dried Treats; Dorothy's Playhouse; and Harvest and Crumb Roadside Stand.
