Garden City Farmers and Artisan's Market

Every Friday Until  The End of August 5 - 8 p.m.

 

GARDEN CITY, Utah.  There is a substantial movement across our country to know where our food and products are from. What better way than from your local farmers market!
Last year Melissa Spuhler spearheaded the Garden City Farmers and Artisans Market (GCFAM) -      the mission of which is to educate consumers about sustainable agriculture and healthy foods, provide a source of revenue for local farmers, artisans, and businesses and create a vital community gathering place for all ages.   

Based on its success and with lessons learned, the 2013 GCFAM is even bigger and better.  Offering fruits and vegetables grown in the Bear Lake area and surrounding regions, local fresh eggs, gourmet baked goods, and other freshly made goodies, the farmers part of the market is sure to make mealtime a gathering to enjoy and savor. 

Stroll the artisan booths to find that perfect   handcrafted gift.  Expertly crafted wooden bowls, rustic frames, unique jewelry, handpainted saw blades, wearable art, and handmade toys are just a few of the offerings from the many talented artists.  Bring a blanket and sit on the lawn to enjoy the live music to complete your Market experience.
The GCFAM is held every Friday from June through August (except Aug. 2) from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. at the southwest end of the city parking lot located at 50 S. Bear Lake Boulevard (where Raspberry Days is held). 
Garden City hopes to live up to its name sake by providing this venue for gardeners to help the local farm to table and buy handmade movements on the shores of Bear Lake.
