Palouse Grown Market: First week PGM will be open for orders...
Happy Thursday,
I wanted to give everyone a heads-up that May 27-31 will be PGM’s first week for taking orders! The Market will be open Wednesday morning until late Sunday night. The market closes for Monday and Tuesdays as “harvest days”. This will be the consistent schedule for PGM.
The first pick-up day will be Tuesday, June 2nd. Vendors can drop off their wares at the 1912 Center between 2-3:30, and Members can pick-up from 4-6:30!
Soon I will be sending out Vendor packets and contacting the current vendors via phone to see if there are any questions or concerns I can address.
Many thanks,
Holly

Tonight was a great market night! Like so many market nights, tonight just came together with vendors, customers, the YMCA, my assistants…
One big team, lots of laughs, lots of fun, lots of local goodness!!
I would like to thank so many of the vendors, and customers, who take the time to send special little messages with their orders, or emails as a vendor. Your kind words to us, and your appreciation, are why we do what we do, each and every week! You are important to us, this market is important to us, and the local goodness/scene/vibe are important to us!!
Get on board with the love…the love of local, the love of keeping it real, and the love of this little local market! We thank each of you…
I am opening the market for another week of fun!! We look forward to showing you another week of love, local, and fun…

We’re about to lose vendors…
Many of our vendors require a minimum amount ordered to be able to justify delivering to our warehouse. Orders have been very low for Cedar Rock Dairy, Mountain Fresh Creamery and Great Harvest. Unfortunately if our orders don’t increase we will lose these wonderful vendors. Please consider showing your support for these vendors by ordering their products. Your ordering decisions do make a difference!
Great Harvest offers freshly baked breads from freshly milled whole grains. They also offer gluten free breads.
Mountain Fresh Creamery produces all natural (no hormones or antibiotics), non-homogenized Milk, Chocolate Milk, Low Fat Milk and Buttermilk.
Cedar Rock Dairy produces Raw Jersey cow milk from A2 cows. Cows roam on certified organic *pastures of a 1200 acre organic farm.
