After a massively successful first season, the Kimberley Farmer’s Market is back for its sophomore run, beginning next Thursday, June 25, from 5 to 7:30 p.m. “The early growing season has got our growers ahead of schedule,” said market coordinator Erna Jensen. “We thought it would be kind of fun to start a week early and have locals come out to see what local produce is available.” The Kimberley Farmers’ Market will once again be located on Howard Street, a location that worked out very well last year, Jensen said.
