⏰ Saturday Plans? Mark Your Calendars Cause The Aitkin Farmer's Market Has You Covered! 📅

Join us this Saturday, June 27th from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Aitkin Tractor Supply parking lot for another wonderful day at the Aitkin Farmer's Market!

One of the greatest things about the market is that no two Saturdays are ever quite the same. You might stop by for fresh produce and leave with a handmade mug, a gallon of milk, a cozy scented candle, or your new favorite vendor! 🧺

This week also marks the start of our Bounty Bag distribution program! If you've been thinking about signing up, there's still time to reserve your bag filled with fresh, seasonal produce from our local farmers. As a reminder registration closes Wednesday! 🍅🥦🥕

In this week's session, we'll explore key nutrients that support brain health, memory, focus, and mood. Missed Part 1? No worries! This session is a great opportunity to jump in. Attended last week? Come continue the conversation with Part 2.

✨ Featured in this week's graphic is Crow Wing Studio from Pine River. Their beautiful hand-thrown pottery includes one-of-a-kind mugs, bowls, and even soy wax candles poured into pottery they've crafted themselves. As our only pottery vendor, they bring a unique and creative element to the market that customers look forward to! ✨

That looks like a nervous smile. 🥲 Should I be smiling or sprinting away?

This is a bull snake and is NOT an invasive species, just a hungry one 😄
