Super. Yeah I got confused on the address. I mixed up MarLou Terrace and Marbury Terrace. Sorry, no wonder I was so confused. So can I use anything I read here in my blog? Any website or no?

Yes we reached out to Stillman's when we first decided to do a Farmers' Market over here in the Stony Brook area. Their market has been on Centre Street for 20+ years and they really wanted to stay there. And as is the case in the restaurant industry -- the more the merrier!<br />

<br />
The Community Servings Farmers' Market is meant to provide fresh, local, and often organic produce and products to an area that has been under served. Our farmer accepts WIC and Elder coupons, and Community Servings provides access to Food Stamps and The Food Projects' Bounty Bucks program that effectively doubles a person's food stamps for use at the market.<br />
<br />
The response at the market and on websites such as Neighbors for Neighbors has been wonderful. People are looking for something like this in this area. If you haven't stopped by yet, please do. We set up an outdoor cafe area, we have a 'watering hole' where you can park your dog, the kitchen is looking into making 'doggie biscuits', we'll be able to stage outdoor food demonstrations later in the season, and people are starting to think about using the site as a meeting place of sorts. There will be 'orchard' bike rides from the site and perhaps even a contest or two later in the season. All things that we can do here, but become virtually impossible behind the Bank of America parking lot.<br />
<br />
I'll look forward to seeing you soon!<br />

I think local food and products is the way to go and I am curious if there has been any coordination between the Centre street market, your group and any others? For instance I heard something recently about a market near Copper Beach somewhere on Amory. My concern would only be for the farmers/vendors. It seems if there are too many markets in a relatively small area it may dilute the cause and limit success.<br />

In general I'd like to see the usual fruits and vegetables, but canned (or jarred) goods would be nice! I love homemade bread and butter pickles! I was just at a farmers market in VT and they had other things like handmade soap, candles, sweaters, etc. and that seemed to work well. Hi all,

Hi all,<br />
<br />
It's Edith from Community Servings about The Farmers' Market<br />
<br />
Sunday was a great launch. Thank you all for your encouragement and support and for letting people know about it in the Neighborhood.<br />
<br />
This Sunday, we're going to make it a party -- with music and balloons -- and all sort of good stuff. We'll have a 'Ribbon Cutting' -- John Tobin is going to stop by -- and we'll be giving out cookies from our kitchen and a special salad using local produce. Spread the word.<br />
<br />

<br />
I'm also hoping some of you may be able to help get the word out. I'm looking for a few incredibly kind volunteers who might have some time to help 'flyer' at the Stony Brook, Green Street, and Jackson Square T stations during the commuting hours -- say 4 to 6 pm.<br />
<br />
Please let me know if you're interested and might be able to fit this into your schedule! It would be much appreciated.<br />
<br />

Thanks all!<br />

Elijah,<br />
<br />
Not only will be accepting food stamps/ SNAP benefits, we'll be accepting WIC and Elder Coupons -- AND -- what's really exciting is that we're participating in The Food Project's 'Bounty Bucks' program that effectively doubles food stamp/ SNAP benefits up to $10 per day.<br />
