Farmers Market to open June 11

Lake Lorraine’s Farmers Market begins June 11. This year’s market will be located on the east side of the development in the parking lot of a building south of Hobby Lobby. The market will be open from 4-7 p.m. Thursdays into October and offer a variety of locally-grown items and fine selection of produce.

This year’s location will allow for more space between vendors and patrons, especially if restrictions change due to COVID-19. The 2019 inaugural farmers market season was located on the west side of the Lake Lorraine development.

This year’s vendors include: Hanisch Farms, Warner’s Produce, Dakota Mushrooms & Microgreens, Little Shire Farms, Heart of the City Bakery, Belle Terre Farms, Gilkerson Gardens, Pampered Chef, and Prairie Cocoa and Confections — and more vendors being added later in the season. Anyone interested in joining the market should email or call 605.929.9319.

Products will vary weekly by the growing season but visitors can anticipate items like confections, gluten-free bakery items, mushrooms and microgreens, eggs, honey, vegetable plants, lamb, poultry, peppers, potatoes and sweet corn — and more. For weekly updates of available products, visit the Lake Lorraine Farmers Market Facebook page.

Credit card payment is encouraged to support the efforts to slow the spread of COVID-19, however, please note some vendors only accept cash.
