The 2019 Elk River Farmers Market has come to an end, but we’d be remiss to go without mentioning the generosity demonstrated by many of our vendors throughout the season. Each week following the market, a representative from Community Aid Elk River (CAER) Food Shelf was on site taking donations of unsold produce, still at the peak of its freshness but may go unused before the next market opportunity for the vendor. Throughout the course of the season, vendors donated 4,372 pounds of produce to CAER, providing fresh, healthy options to local families in need.
Bravo, vendors and thank you for your generosity!
