To market to market
If it’s early Saturday morning, you can be sure that you’ll find Anthony Schwager, along with around 70 other vendors working at the Farmer’s Market at 8th and New Hampshire streets.
Schwager, Lawrence resident, has his own stand, Anthony’s Beehive, which he started when he was only in third grade. There he sells products including jars of honey, chap sticks, honey straws, homemade candles and other products made from his beehives. Like many of the market attenders, Schwager’s favorite part of the market is interacting with other community members. The bulk of Schwager’s business comes from the four farmers markets that are hosted around Lawrence each week. This includes Saturday mornings from 7-11 am, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 4- 6 p.m. at 10th and Vermont and Wednesday afternoons from 4-6 p.m at 9th and Iowa.
The Saturday Farmer’s Market is the biggest one of the week. All four of the markets feature vendors selling only home-grown products. Market goers come early to get the best pick of produce, flowers, home-made crafts, and home-cooked food.
The Lawrence Farmer’s Market is the oldest in Kansas. It was first started in 1976 and runs from the second week in April to the second week in November.
