Monticello Farmers Market

Stop by the market this week to see what is new. We have had new vendors join us on Saturday mornings. Hopefully, strawberries will be arriving soon and every week a new flower is in bloom.

Why Buy Local Flowers?

• They Are Truly Local and Fresh

     Almost 80 percent of fresh flowers sold in the United States and Canada are not grown in North America. You can easily find wonderfully fresh, long-lasting flowers from local farmers

• They Smell Better

     Many commodity-type flowers have been bred for uniformity and to fit into a box, often losing their natural fragrance in the process. Locally grown flowers are produced in greater varieties, providing a wide range of colors, forms and scents.

• They Support the Local Economy

     The production and sale of locally grown cut flowers contribute to a community’s economy, and provide employment and valuable agriculture experience to many.

• They Make You Feel Better!

     Flowers reduce stress and improve your mood. Flowers can be connected to a memory of a time, a place, a person, a season or an event. They have a story, and you are part of it.

     Check out localflowers.org for more information and a directory of flower farmers in the US and Canada.

     Market days are Wednesday afternoon from 3-5:30 p.m. and Saturday from 8-11 a.m.

     The Monticello Farmers Market is located at Willow Shelter, next to Pizza Ranch.
