Fans of fresh, local food now have even more reason to get excited about the Our Goodness is Growing campaign to improve the Fulton Street Farmers Market (1147 E. Fulton). Starting Saturday, July 30, and running right through Saturdays of the market season, our friends at Bartertown Diner (6 Jefferson SE) are replacing their regular menu items with meals made from produce fresh from the Fulton Street Farmers Market that morning.

For every market meal you eat at Bartertown Diner on a Saturday, $1 will go towards the Our Goodness is Growing campaign, and for every glass of locally-produced “Old Boys” root beer or sour apple soda you drink, 50¢ will go towards the campaign.

Take advantage of this opportunity to have a fabulous meal, to support a new locally-owned business
AND to contribute to the farmers market campaign.
