Krankies Farmers Market Opens!

Look for us at the corner of Patternson Avenue and Third Street each week. The Krankies Farmers Market will kick off its second season this Tuesday, April 20, in a new, larger location outside Krankies Coffee, on Patterson Ave. between Third and Fourth streets in downtown Winston-Salem. The market will be open every Tuesday from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The April 20 market will celebrate spring greens with a cooking demonstration by healthy-cooking advocate Lee Newlin of Greensboro. Market shoppers who buy any spring greens may enter a raffle for a Krankies Farmers Market canvas bag made from recycled cotton and printed using water-based ink by TS Designs in Burlington. Krankies Farmers Market is an all-local, producers-only market that seeks to bring a wide variety of fresh foods to downtown Winston-Salem. Vendors are selected on the basis of their healthy, sustainable, and humane practices. The market is a joint effort between Triad Buying Co-op Inc., Krankies Coffee, and Piedmont Triad Research Park.
