Weaver Library Farmers Market

Posted

The first half of the Weaver Library Farmers Market’s 9th season has been a huge success. Vegetables and new microgreens have been beautiful and lush. Prepared foods by Ocean State Foods, the Perfect Empanada, and Ethiopian Eats have been sampled and purchased. Our Pop-up Artisans, including Power Pup Treats, Sparkle&Glow by Yvonne, and the Art of the Gem sold colorful and varied items to our customers. Nonprofit organizations, like HEZ and the Friends of Homeless Animals have shared important information and the opportunity to meet puppies and dogs in need of good homes. There has been wonderful entertainment, including Saddle Up the Chicken, Drum Nomads, and Allysen Callery. Our Big Blue Blocks were popular with kids and families while visiting the Market.

As the season extends into August and September, we will continue to provide fresh, local food, beautiful crafts, community outreach tables, and enjoyable live entertainment. Visit the Market Table where you will be able to purchase granola, honey, hot sauce, and more. Marley’s Earrings Shop will be displaying her lovely earrings and the Friends of the East Providence Public Library will be holding their weekly book sale. Sharper Harper will be set up on August 18 and 25 for all your blade sharpening needs. Music will be provided by Ocean State Ramblers (August 4), Hit Rewind (August 11), Roberta Lamb (August 18), Betty and Gary from Full Circle (August 25), Kleyla Family Band (September 1), Nate Jones (September 8), and Cardboard Ox will end the season on September 15. There is ample parking in the City Lot between the Library and Weaver House. Cash, credit, WIC, and SNAP EBT with Bonus Bucks are accepted. Please plan to join us on Thursdays from 4-7 PM through September 15.
