Despite doubts about its future earlier this spring, the farmers market in Rock Spring will return for its 20th year under new management.
The newly-named 27 Farmers Market will still be Wednesdays at the Ag Center on the Walker County Civic Center campus, but it will now be from 9 to noon.
Opening day is June 5, Sarah Kruger, Civic Center campus manager and the new market manager, said in a phone call. The market will run through the end of July.
“We’re really excited,” Slaughter said. “This market’s been here for 20 years this year. It’s under new management and under a new name, but it’s still the same market, same place, same people.”
Extra activities are planned for the market’s opening day, she said.
