This Sunday’s Farmer’s Market will be sharing the parking lot with the Greek Festival at the Oleika Temple this Sunday. Plan to park on the Slone’s side of the Market for closest parking spots. Also, Southland Association member Milwards will be in the Southland Association tent. Please stop by and visit with their booth.
The Southland Association Board has endorsed The Lexington Business Recycling Program and encourages all businesses in the Southland area to participate.
LFUCG and Bluegrass PRIDE is proud to announce the Lexington Business Recycling Program called Business WasteBusters. This program encourages local businesses to recycle. It is free of charge and it will include a personal visit to your business site to help you start recycling, or expand what you are doing, and figure out some of the logistics. For more information on the program, see the attachment or contact Esther Cruz Moberly, at Bluegrass PRIDE, at 266-1572, or esther@kentuckypride.com.

Members of The Southland Association now have the opportunity to participate in the Sunday Farmer’s Market. We have four tents and signs available for each remaining Sunday through October 29. (Market runs from 10 am – 2 pm).
The tents will be provided by The Southland Association. You must bring your own tables and merchandise, coupons, etc. After the market is over you will need to clean up and break down the tent for storage at a designated site.
The Lexington Farmer’s Market has agreed to let us sell product at our tents as well as give away coupons and display merchandise. We don’t, however, want to sell any product that competes with the vendors of the Market.
To reserve a tent, email Melanie at roederer@iglou.com or call at 278-0266.
Don’t forget The Lexington Farmer’s Market on Southland Drive this Sunday, 10 am -2.
This is prime season for fresh produce – corn, tomatoes, peaches, melons!
Come to shop and have breakfast at Southland restaurants:

Perspectives
278-0266
The Lexington Farmers’ Market board of directors has agreed to allow our Southland Association members to sell their products at the Southland Sunday Farmers market. Previously, we were only able to display products and give away samples and literature.
We view this as a very nice opportunity for our members to have access to perhaps 1000 or more potential customers on any given Sunday and to expand our members sales. As an example, neighborhood associations might want to use a booth for bake sales or other fund raisers. Other members might want to feature their newest products or specialities. Some might want to bring in their closeouts at greatly reduced prices. Product demonstrations can now be combined with selling the product on the spot.
The new agreement allows up to four of our members to participate each Sunday, and The Southland Association will provide the pop-up type 10′ x 10′ canopy booths at no charge for member use. We will also provide signs to identify ourselves as Southland Association members. Members provide their own display tables, chairs, etc. Our booths are to be spaced about 50 feet apart and facing the front of the farmer’s booths.
At this point we need to determine how many members are interested before purchasing the canopy booths, signs, etc. We would also like to know how frequently you think you might like to participate. Once we have an idea what kind of participation to expect we will know how to proceed.
Please respond by e-mail, phone or fax by July 31st. If you have any questions or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks,
