🌽 We’re all ears in downtown Rushville! 🌽

It’s CORN DAY at the Heart of Rushville Farmers & Artisans Market, and Kappa Kappa Sigma is serving up hot, buttered ears of sweet corn. Because if there’s a better way to spend a Saturday morning in August, we haven’t heard it. 🌽🧈

And corn is just the beginning.

🎶 Brooke Edwards and her jam band are bringing the tunes while our vendors are bringing the goods: jellies and jams, fresh-baked breads, cookies and pies, local honey, farm-fresh veggies, eggs, soaps and lotions, jewelry, home goods, apparel, toys and games, back-to-school goodies and plenty more. Brew on 2 is here, too, to keep your Saturday properly caffeinated. ☕️

Headed to the Steam Engine Show today? Make the market your first stop. Grab some corn, shop local, listen to live music and start your Saturday with us.

🌽 Corn Day
📍 Downtown Rushville
⏰ We’re here until 12:30 p.m.

Come for the corn. Stay for the jam. Then steam on over to the show. 🚂

Our Little Sprouts program for this week. It starts at 10:00 am

Are your kids ( or you) curios about raising goats? Then bring them to the Rushville Farmers Market Little Sprouts class at 10 am this Saturday and meet G, my favorite goat and the only “pet” goat on my farm. I’ll be bringing one or two other goats with me, just haven’t decided who the lucky ones are yet. I’ll also be passing out goat coloring sheets, goat stickers, and a sample bar of Minglewood Goat Farms soap to the kids! Don’t forget to stop by my booth for your skincare needs and all the other fantastic vendors at the market!
