Farmers Market

March 10 is the date of this year’s Winter Farmers’ Market in cooperation with the Food, Faith and Farming Network. We will have a great variety of vendors selling eggs, preserves, salsa, mushrooms, honey, meat, soaps and body care, apples, cider syrups, oats, granola, wool products, rustic breads and pastries, sweet breads, gluten-free and vegan bread. As we get closer to the market, more vendors may be added. Bring your own bags or purchase an Ascension bag to use.

Volunteers are needed to help make the market a success. Please sign-up online to help.

In addition to the market, we will have a brunch with all locally sourced foods from the farmers. The menu includes egg bake, spinach bake, sausages, hashbrown bake, oatmeal/fruit muffins, cider and beverages. The cost is $10 adults, $8 seniors and $5 kids 4-10 (under 4 free). There is a maximum of $30 per family. This is a great opportunity to invite a friend to visit Ascension. They can join us for worship or at least hear the joyful worship sounds as they shop.
