Outdoor Farmers Market To Open In Millersville By Dayna M. Reidenouer
It has been five years since the borough of Millersville last saw a farmers market. That will change, however, on Saturday, June 15, when Manor Market will open on the campus of Immerse International, 321 Manor Ave., Millersville. The outdoor farmers market will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. once a month through October and is slated to feature produce, prepared foods, meats and cheeses, crafts, and live music. Immerse provides intensive English language education, housing for international students, and programs for refugees and immigrants to benefit the broader Lancaster community. “An event of this nature is in line with our mission to serve and to be a good neighbor to the borough and surrounding area of Millersville,” said executive director Ed McManness. He noted that
the corner of Manor and Leaman avenues, where Immerse International is located, has been designated as the town center for Millersville. “We came up with the idea (of Manor Market) when discussing the future development of the property and our desire to have a unique activity on the property to benefit the community,” he continued. “The barn and surrounding large mansion are a nice backdrop for an open-air market.” McManness noted that seven vendors are confirmed for June 15, with the hope of having a total of 10. Applications are still being accepted, and several are pending approval. Applications may be obtained by emailing info@immerseus.com. There is a cost to vend. Additional vendors have been confirmed for Saturday, July 13. Some of the vendors will participate in every market day, while others will be there only on select dates. See Farmers Market pg 9
