Hartung Park Farm Market     

The "test run" last Wednesday, July 21 was a success and we've received rave reviews on the produce purchased there.

 We will have a bigger opening night on Wednesday July 28th, 4-7pm.

If you are able to volunteer to help with market closing on any Wednesday night in July, Aug, or September, please reply to this email hartungpark@gmail.com Closing will mainly mean checking the area for trash so we leave the farm stand area clean.

If you would like to join the market committee please reply to this email as well.

Farm stand details:     Wednesdays, 4-7pm mid-July through September.
                                          Located on the Menomonee River Parkway in Hartung Park
                                          Note: follow the current parking rules even during the market.
