KINGSTON LAKESIDE FARMERS MARKET
If you're new to our area, following are a few things to know about the market:
-
The market was started in 2020 by volunteers from and financial backing (internet and advertising-related costs) by Bethel as a community outreach initiative, with support from the City of Kingston.
-
The market is currently managed by volunteers from Bethel.
-
The market provides a selling platform for local farmers, prepared food vendors, and craftsmen in a wholesome community-centric environment.
-
The market is considered to be a significant part of Bethel's commitment to being an Earth Care congregation (one of the tenets of Earth Care congregations is to integrate care for the earth into their outreach ministries – establishment of the market achieved this by encouraging local farmers/growers to produce crops to sell at the market).
-
This year, the market is open, come rain or shine, every Saturday from 8am - 11am through August 3.
