Bring your family to the mat...at the Farmer's Market!  Family yoga is a great way to connect with family members and have a fun time! This special outdoor yoga class is designed to get you and your family stretching, breathing, cooperating and playing together. No prior yoga experience is necessary.

Beginning May 28^th, the Market will be open -- rain or shine -- every Thursday from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm through October 1st.  There's plenty of parking in the adjacent lot with overflow parking across the street.  Stop by and talk with the farmers who work so hard to provide the highest-quality seasonal produce, grass-fed meats and unique specialty products for the Market. Perhaps pick up dinner from one of the healthy prepared-food vendors and complement it with a crisp salad made from local produce.  How about some jam and bread for your morning breakfast?  The Market even has healthy treats for your 4-legged friends! 

Veterans Square is located on the corner of Heacock and Edgewood Roads in Lower Makefield Township in the park surrounding the newly-dedicated Veterans Square Monument.  Questions?? Contact Deirdre Cloughley at lmtfarmersmarket@gmail.com or 267 307 3728.
