Subject: Seeking farmers for DC farmers' market

Dear Farmers and friends,

I'm Market Director for the Mount Pleasant Farmers' Market in Washington DC

this year, running Saturdays from 9am - 1pm, May 3 - Nov 22. We're

" producer only " , meaning our vendors are the farmers themselves (or their

kin, or employees involved in production). We're also " local foods " : the

Mid-Atlantic states of Virginia, land, Delaware, Pennsylvania, West

Virginia, and the District of Columbia. We do a brisk trade and are growing

every year.

I've got 6 great produce vendors and an awesome French baker, but we've

always wished we had someone to sell dairy, especially milk, and a cheese

monger would be a great asset too. I also just lost my meat vendor, they

were scaling back, so I'm looking for someone with beef, pork, chickens,

and/or eggs. I know I've seen mention on the list of other farmers, but I'm

specifically looking for someone who wants to commit to a Saturday market.

On an outside chance someone knows a fisherman or woman, it'd be great to

provide seafood too!

If you think you know someone who'd be interested, please contact me off

list.

Yours, Mrs. Higgins

Rebbie Higgins
