Eureka Farmer's Market
Can you imagine strolling through Riverside Park on a sunny afternoon watching the Tobacco River flow? You will hear some great local musicians playing and perhaps get ice cream or a homemade sweet to eat as you look at all the booths. Organic vegetables, original cards, local pork, handmade rugs, jams and jellies, fresh baked sourdough bread, flowers and hand painted silk scarves. These are just a few of the items that you will find at the Eureka Farmers Market.
It is open every Wednesday throughout the summer from 3:30 - 6:00 pm and is so family-friendly. There is grass for the kids to play on, the river to cool your feet and shade to sit in as you listen to the music. You can get information on what is happening in Eureka and even advice on how to help your tomato plants grow better. The Eureka Farmers Market is sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and is certainly a community venture. Whitefish Credit Union sponsors the weekly music. Sunburst Community Service Foundation lines up the musicians. The vendors pitch in to make the space look picture-perfect! So swing by on Wednesday. Easy parking so you won't have to walk far with your bags full of fresh veggies."
About the Author: Rita Collins. I am a believer in the power of community and for now I call the Tobacco Valley home. I have lived in nine states and three counties and this community here amazes me - how people reach out to neighbors and even travelers. I've never lived in a place that demonstrates people caring for each other so well. And I've never lived in a place that has such a high percentage of talented musicians and artists. I work with the the Sunburst Community Service Foundation, a nonprofit that began in Eureka twenty years ago and now serves numerous communities in western Montana. And I just started a new business, St. Rita's Amazing Traveling Bookstore and Textual Apothecary. I never could have imagined life being this exciting in my sixth decade.
