SHAWVILLE May 26, 2018
Just as spring has rolled around once again, so has the time for farmers’ markets and Shawville’s is no exception.
Now located in the poultry building of the Shawville Fairgrounds, folks can find the early vendors there from 8:30 a.m. till half past noon every Saturday, as the group looks to expand through the coming season.
“We’re a little small right now,” said Wendy Crawford, one of the vendors. “But we’re in the process of revitalization.”
Currently, there are about a handful of vendors, selling everything from handmade crafts and jewellery to potted plants. In fact, there are so many homemade trinkets, the group was quick to boast that their market has a craft for every occasion.
“We have some vendors returning, we’re just waiting on some to start harvesting their crops,” continued Crawford.

Crawford continued to say that while there will be more vendors joining them soon, they’re always looking to add more to their group.
“We’d even appreciate any vendors that want to come occasionally throughout the summer,” added Lynn Lariviere, another vendor.
The group said that as they grow, they plan to accommodate more in whatever way possible, from hosting vendors in tents outside of the facility and more.
As well, the vendors stressed that their market is like a small community, looking to support each other as they grow bigger.
“We all try to do something a little different, so we can promote each other’s products,” continued Lariviere.
Those interested in checking out the wares offered can join the group on Saturday mornings right through the summer.
Any vendors looking to get themselves a table are asked to contact Crawford at 819-648-2501.
