Elkhart Farmers Market Vet is still going strong at Woodlawn Harvest Market


Pat (Left) and "Uncle" Ed McCourt (see enclosed file for picture) are the last active member from the original Elkhart Farmers' Market ion 1990.They started, originally with 8 vendors selling anything from "soup to nuts" (in truth from crafts to fresh produce - but in a wide variety). John Scherk was the man who started the market back then and Ed and Pat were asked to join because they sold herbs.

Since then he has started the Bristol Farm Market, The Goshen Farmers Market, and the Middlebury Farmers Market as well as selling at every Elkhart Farmers Market since the first one back in 1990. In the winter you can visit with them in Braydonton, Florida Farmers Market. You can also see them at the Bonneville Mill Festival, and the spring meeting of the Four Winds Garden Club in May. And, of course, at Woodlawn Harvest Market.

Woodlawn Nature Center Harvest Market is located at Woodlawn Nature Center (604 Woodlawn Avenue, in Elkhart. They are open 1-6 pm on Friday afternoons through October 8th.
