We would like to thank the Baptist Church for hosting us once again this winter. We would also like to thank John who accommodated our needs at every market.
Nearly a dozen local cooks participated in a Macaroni and Cheese Cook Off hosted February 18 by the Bennington Farmers’ Market. The event raised more than $400 for Bennington County Meals on Wheels programs. Jezy Robert’s “Best Macaroni and Cheese”took first place honors while Mike Giannini’s “Four Cheese Fondue” grabbed the silver. Peter Hopkins placed third with his “Macaroni and Cheese with Braised Venison. Thank you to everyone who participated!
Beginning on May 6th the market will run every Saturday from 10-1 at the river walk at Bennington Station and will continue through October. We have exciting demos and events planned. Our membership drive begins this month. Get our new 2017 pint glass as a thank you.
Saturday, February 18, 10 a.m. till noon:
