(KNZA)--The Hiawatha Farmers Market will have a new location beginning this year.

The Hiawatha City Commission last week approved allowing organizers to use the former site of the city-owned RV park on South 1st Street.

The Farmers Market has been held in the former Hiawatha Thriftway parking lot.  

In a letter, Hiawatha Farmers Market manager Lynn Galey said the new location will provide better visibility, good parking and some shade.

Galey said the Market will be held this year on Wednesday’s from 10 to 1.  

The Market is to begin in mid-to-late May and run through the beginning of October.

In previous years, Galey says they’ve had 5-10 vendors on average, and hopes the improved location and time will draw in additional growers.

Vendors may sell only produce or products grown/produced in Brown County or adjacent counties.
