New Market Schedule

As of September 4th, the market will be held monthly for the remainder of the year, continuing to provide farmers and families the opportunity to connect with fresh, locally-grown foods for healthy meals.

The market will be open to the public on Thursday, Sept. 25; Thursday, Oct. 16; Tuesday, Nov. 25 and Tuesday, Dec. 23. Farmers will continue to offer seasonal produce on these dates in front of the cafeteria at the Brunswick County Government Complex, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and we will continue to offer samples and raffle prizes.

Each market will focus on different seasonal foods, including samples of ways to cook those items. The Sept. 25 market will feature grapes, pears and peanuts, while the Oct. 16 market will feature apples, sweet potatoes and mums. The Nov. 25 market will feature collards and sweet potatoes, and the Dec. 23 market will feature greens, apples, sweet potatoes and Christmas herbs.

The Bolivia Brief will resume weekly operation early next spring, with an opening date announced closer to the time. All farmers wishing to participate in the market at no charge should contact the Cooperative Extension office (Morgan or Mark) 910-253-2610.

We'd like to thank all of our farmers and community members that came out at any point this past season and we look forward to seeing you all again on September 25th!
