The Old Church Farmer’s Market in Hillsborough is excited to get going and get you growing with Seedy Saturday on April 18th from 9am -2pm! Donations for entry at the door.
Come out of hibernation, dig out your extra seed packets (you know the ones- all folded up and stuffed in the back of your junk drawer) and join us at 2807 Main St Hillsborough for a day of seed and gear swapping, soup sipping and mosaic marveling. Please clearly label your seeds!
You’ll have a chance to swap seeds, stories, recipes, tips and bad garden puns with other gardeners. Newbies and old hats welcomed! Bring books, equipment, tools-whatever garden related goodies you may be interested in swapping!
Swapping seeds is economical and ensures everyone has a varied and tasty selection to feed themselves with. Food security is paramount in the face of the rising cost of living and constant interruptions in supply chains.
There will be a locally-sourced soup bar as well as coffee for purchase at lunch time and Oliver’s German Bakery right next door will be open for business featuring seed-themed breads. Everyone likes snacks!
Rainbow Seeds will be in the house for your perusing pleasure. These experts can answer your questions and help you pick what’s right for your garden.
There will be craft and goods vendors where you can pick up nature-inspired goodies for yourself or someone else! Please note not all vendors are able to take electronic payment. Ensure you have cash on hand.
There will be a chance to create and take home your very own seed mini mosaic via a collaboration with local artist Tim Isaac! There are limited spots for this workshop and you must pre register. For more information and to ensure your spot, contact the Old Church Farmer’s Market via Facebook, Instagram or email [email protected]. Please note that cash payment will be accepted for this workshop upon your arrival. Just check in with facilitator Rielle who will get you all set up!
And besides, the couch will always be there but this event is one day only. So grab your gardening goodies, a good pal, and your sense of adventure and join us! Be sure to watch the Old Church Farmer’s Market socials for updates, sneak peeks and more!
