Farmers' Market at Brian Coyle

Farmers' Markets don't get much closer than this. Each Monday from 3-6, Brian Coyle will be hosting a farmers' market in their parking lot. It's just getting started, so a visit and purchase there would make a big impact. I spoke with the vendors this week and they might not be able to stay unless there's more traffic.

So, if you're interested, please plan on picking up some great, fresh, affordable, and organic vegetables on your way home Monday. Especially if you plan to take the train, as the center is one block away from the West Bank station. See the center here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=brian+coyle+community+center&sll=44.97591,-93.285942&sspn=0.034062,0.090981&ie=UTF8&ll=44.969519,-93.24661&spn=0.004258,0.011373&t=h&z=17

If anyone would like to bike there with me, I'll be meeting at the front of the Christensen Center at 5 p.m. Monday before riding there. Let me know if I should expect you. Thanks!
