Hoping to “turn the corner and make the market a financially viable operation,” Tower Grove Farmers’ Market is “in the heart of [their] fund raising drive for the 2008 season.”
Currently they have raised only 10% of their contribution goal of $15,000, so if you are a patron of the market, please consider making a donation no matter how small. The money will be used to pay the markets “insurance, equipment, promotional materials, and operating expenses” so that we can continue to enjoy what has become one of the finest markets in our region.
