West Homewood Market Honey
The West Homewood Market features a variety of vendors.
The West Homewood Farmers Market's summer season begins Saturday, June 7.
The Saturday market will run 8 a.m.-noon through July 27 at 160 Oxmoor Road.
Only on June 7, a Veggie Race for kids will take place at 9 a.m.
“We want to wholeheartedly do something for the community,” said market manager Kenyon Ross. “The community benefits from the market.”
The market will only have as many as 14 booths featuring local produce and other food and craft items as well as live music, food tucks and barbecue smoked by the West Homewood Lions Club.
“It’s more intimate,” Ross said. “We want people to come and connect.”
With a smaller market, Ross said, customers get to know their farmers and how they grow their produce.
There will also be live entertainment, food trucks, and arts and crafts.
Following summer market season, West Homewood will hold a night market on Aug. 14, Sept. 19 and Oct. 17 from 5-8 p.m.
