The Farmers Market on the Square (FM2) opened the 2018 season Saturday morning, April 14, at 8amCT with 12 vendors. There were lots of bedding plants, green onions and fresh lettuce. Each week more fresh vegetables and fruits will be appearing.

There was also a variety of crafts as well as local honey, so for opening day, I was pleased.

The crowd was picking up and lots of familiar faces were there until the weather changed.



When rain and thunder rolled in around 10, for safety reasons, we closed the market early, but look for us next week, at the same place, FM2, at the Corner of Campbellsville & Merchant Streets, 8am-1pmCT, Saturday, April 21, at Then in June we will start the Wednesday afternoon market from 12pmNoon-5pmCT.

The Farmers Market Vendors would like to Thank everyone for their support and look forward to seeing you this season. - DJ

Let's get started! Hungry Kids Cafe pronounced open for the season and yummy by the Booth girls, from left, Cadence, 6, Kennedy 8, Roxie 4 and Raegan held by Mom, Cali.

It was 67 warm degrees when this photo taken at around 8amCT. Weather was getting ready to change according to winds, but all good in the first hour. - LW

The Hungry Kids Cafe is separate from the Farmers Market but it shares the big lot provided by the City of Columbia on the corner of Campbellsville and Merchant Streets. By 8:15amCT it was already a busy place ready to offer free food to all children. The Cafe is done with all donations and volunteer work. The sign goes up later in the week and final touches will be done on the building so that by week two, full efficiency is expected. - LW
