FAIRHOPE, Ala.—The city of Fairhope is once again hosting an outdoor market this summer on Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. The market will be held downtown on Church Street beginning Thursday, May 21 through July 9.

The city is looking for local growers and vendors who would like to offer their products to the community. The market will offer fresh vegetables and fruit, freshly-cut flowers, local honey, a large variety of plants, baked goods and other products from local farmers and vendors.

The Alabama Farmers Market Authority has been working with the Alabama Department of Public Health to allow the sale of home-processed foods at farmers markets.

Certain home-processed foods, for example, baked breads, rolls, cookies, cakes, brownies, fudge and double-crust fruit pies; traditional fruit jams, jellies, marmalades and relishes; candy; spices or herbs; and snack items such as popcorn, caramel corn and peanut brittle, may be sold at farmers markets this year with appropriate labeling.

Vendor space is limited; anyone interested in participating should contact the city at 929-1466.
