Farmers' Market Turns 25

Vendors and visitors to the Clover Valley Farmers Market will be celebrating its 25th anniversary this weekend.

The market's summer season comes to a close Saturday.

Deb Cornell of Rainy River Elk Company, and one of the market's shareholders, says the market has helped local farmers.

"A lot of farmers have market their products through Clover Valley Farmers' Market," says Cornell, "and they've had a committed customer base. We have got a lot of people who do want local products who want to support local farmers and appreciate the good products that are produced locally."

As part of the celebrations, the market will host a luncheon of local foods beginning at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
