"They need to go slower than they normally would, and they should be wearing a life jacket at all times, but especially while they are underway, day or night."

FM2 honored as Outstanding Business/Industry

Chamber of Commerce members voted the Farmers Market on the Square (FM2) as Outstanding Business/Industry of 2017. They were introduced by Henrietta Scott who said she could hear Jeff, her late husband and one of the founders, saying to get up in front of everyone and introduce the group of people who make FM2 work, no matter how hard it would be. Henrietta asked Barbara Armitage to come up and explain the market and all it has grown into. Her remarks follow.

By Barbara Armitage, director, Farmers Market on the Square

This is an incredible honor for us. In all my years of working with and shopping at farmers markets I have never heard of a market being honored in such a way. We owe our success to all our wonderful and loyal customers - thank you all!

At the Farmers Market on the Square I have the privilege of working with more than 60 local farmers, some incredibly talented crafters, community service organizations and some hardworking volunteers.

Every week someone asks me if all this is "worth it". Oh yes, I think it is.
