Salem Main Streets and the Salem Farmers’ Market Committee would like to thank our supporters for a successful farmers’ market season. We appreciate our many loyal customers who continued supporting the market from the summer into our first attempt at a winter market. We appreciate the many farms and vendors who joined us for our first winter season and the City of Salem who offered us a location for the market and the many volunteers who helped make this possible. If you have ideas or feedback on the market or are interested in volunteering contact us at sfm@salemmainstreets.org. We hope to see you on Thursday, June 14 when the market opens again for the 2012 season!
