The opening bell for the island’s biggest farmers market will ring at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27. Markets run every Saturday through the end of October.

Market Manager Sharon Warwick says new vendors are welcomed in all categories with a special welcome to farmers and persons interested in selling hot foods. Last year the markets featured a weekly average of 60 vendors selling produce, plant starts, baked goods, hot foods, and artisan crafts.

Market officers will be meeting in early February to develop an agenda and budget for the group’s annual meeting at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26 at the Wellington Day School, recently re-located at the old House of Prayer, 5719 Pioneer Place, between Bayview Road and Maxwelton Road.
