Farmer's Market June 2010 Schedule

ARE YOU READY FOR JUNE 4th? 'Buy Local, Buy Fresh' at the first Richmond Farmers' Market of the 2010 season. There is nothing like fresh seasonal lettuce, turnip greens, scallions, rhubarb, radishes, eggs and meats. Plus, there will be plenty of fresh baked pies, breads, pastries, tarts, peanut butter, cookies, bagels, samosas, tacos, Bosnian foods, grilled burgers, fresh popped popcorn, zucchini relish, lemonade, tea, jams, canned veggies, honey and maple syrup. Don’t forget to bring home a bouquet of fresh cut flowers for the table. Some of our crafters this year will feature jewelry, wooden bowls, knit goods, birdhouses, cards, photos, candles, soaps, lotions, hand painted shirts, chill collars, and pottery. To put a real smile on your face, Lienne Bick will be happy to paint your face while you enjoy the Market.

June 4^th - The opening day of the Richmond Farmers’ Market will feature Tammy Fletcher, Bob Hill and Jim Pitman on Stage from 5:00 to 6:00 Let’s welcome back the spectacular 'Mountain Girl.' Tammy Fletcher can sing….it’s as simple as that! Her stellar performance of our National Anthem at Boston’s Fenway Park made it a true song of hope and glory. She has been acknowledged along with Grace Potter as the best female singer in Vermont by the Vermont arts magazine Seven Days’ annual poll. Tammy’s voice has an amazing range: she is capable of delivering powerful Aretha and Janis style vocals, as well as, more subtle K. D. Lang or Alison Krauss stylings. Vermont musician Trey Anastasio calls Tammy one of his favorite singers, and invited her to perform on stage with Phish. She has an uncanny ability to adapt to different genres and sing with ease, be it rock and roll or opera, country or the blues; she has done it all.

At the market, Tammy will be backed up by Bob Hill on guitar and Jim Pitman on the dobra. You might remember Bob Hill from Clay Brook Farm. For many years Bob was a vendor at the RFM and offered an array of the most beautiful vegetables the Market had to offer. This event is being sponsored by David Sunshine , Esq. Thank you David!

June 25th - The Willoughbys will be on stage from 5:00 to 6:00 at the Richmond Farmers' Market.  In their own words: "THE WILLOUGHBYS have a unique spot in the Vermont music scene. No drum set, but congas to drive; no loud electric guitar, but tasty cowboy licks when needed; not one, but four singers able to lead a tune." This talented group is a four-piece band playing music of the American landscape. With original songs and covers from the Americana songbook, they weave their vocal harmonies together with guitars, accordion, mandolin, violin, congas, and bass. Inspiration is drawn from artists such as Gram Parsons, Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch and the Jayhawks. So come on down and meet Bill Myregaard, Tim Coleman, Debbie Schlosser and Flip Brown.
