🐾 Adoptable Pet of the Week: Justin!
As you may know, the La Crosse Farmers Market is going through a period of transformation—and they can use our help.
The new farmers market is eyeing up a Pearl St. location. This bold move will see the market transform into something that is greater than the sum of its parts. It will bring together downtown businesses in a way that we haven’t seen yet.
To support this new venue, the market will need to supply additional infrastructure.
We have fielded an outpouring of feedback regarding wishes for a safe and accessible local food market. There are costs that come with being able to provide this, and substantially more when requirements call for seven portapotties 🥲🚽we hope to keep vendor dues low so that we don’t continue to lose vendors to free markets. If you’re able to pitch in any amount, your donations go towards keeping our “doors open”. We are working diligently to make this next season beautiful for you all and flourishing, so that can continue to bring a producer-only market to La Crosse.
If you would like to see the Farmers market continue to flourish and grow, please consider making a donation to them on their website. »
