BLOOMINGTON – June is National Fresh Fruit and Vegetables Month – Asparagus, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, lettuce, radishes, rhubarb, spinach, cherries, and strawberries are just a few of the fresh fruits and vegetables available in June at the Bloomington Community Farmers’ Market.
Local farm vendors provide an array of colorful produce to enjoy and add to your diet every day.
These fruits and vegetables provide a wide range of vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Come out this Saturday from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at Showers Commons at 401 North Morton Street and get a healthy supply.
Music at the Market
Returning to the Market to perform at 10:30 a.m. this Saturday is Nicholas Graham-Hall. He is a singer/songwriter and a local painter.
“I write songs to express what I want to say,” said Graham-Hall. “I create art to express what I feel. I’ve started to write some stand-up comedy to poke fun at myself and the world around me. Who knows what I’ll do next?”
A Fair of the Arts
