Happy Thursday! It's a big day for us, as today is our last day our farmers market is located at Shiloh Baptist Church, but dont worry! We are not going far! We will be relocating to 3810 University Avenue in Waterloo at the big U-Haul inside storage parking lot (the old KMart parking lot) starting September 3, 2026 from 3-6 pm. As we wrap up our time in our current location, we would like to thank Shiloh Baptist Church Waterloo, Iowa for hosting us all these years and giving us a place to hold our little market. It's been a pleasure to hold our markets there these past seasons. Its been a place some of our vendors got their start up and learned to expand and just a soft landing for others. Thank you for hosting us.
As for today's market, come see your vendors for one last hoorah in our current location at 3525 Sager Avenue from 3-6 pm! James will be in with produce but no baked goods, however his oven problem has just been resolved! Jade will be in with baked goods, and assorted produce, tim will be joining up with produce, dried herbs and dehydrated snacks. Emilie is our last vendor up with Z&E 3D prints.
