Spring seems to finally be here to stay and with the nicer weather, farmers markets are starting up again in the area.

The Pony Express Farmers Market started over the weekend in the East Hills Mall parking lot in St. Joseph. It runs from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. For more information, go to ponyexpressfarmersmarket.com.

The 2018 Maryville farmers market season will kick off on May 5.

Maryville Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Lily White said the farmers market runs from 7:30 a.m. until noon or until vendors run out of products.

“Our farmers market group has a lot of fun ideas this year, they’re going to do ‘Healthy Saturdays’ and even have some ideas for recipes that you can make with the vendor’s product that’s there this year,” White said.

The farmers market will be set up in the parking lot on 4th and Buchanan on Saturdays in Maryville. For more information, click here.
