BLOOMINGTON – Blueberries are one of the few fruits native to North America. They are hailed as a superfood high in antioxidants and have grown in popularity in recent years.
Raspberries are clusters of “drupelets,” or tiny stone fruits. Most commonly, red raspberries can be found in a range of hues, from gold to purplish black.
This past Saturday, various berries were abundant at the Farmers’ Market. Above are two locally grown berries you can look forward to as we head into berry season. Due to their short shelf life, many berries are rarely found outside farmers’ markets and backyard gardens, so savor them in their juicy glory while you can!
Music at the Market
The Heritage Hall Ramblers will perform on the Circular Stage this Saturday at 10:00 a.m. They are a Dixieland band performing in and around Bloomington, Indiana.
They play traditional Dixieland songs from the 1920s up to the present.
The band is an affiliate band of the Bloomington Community Band.
“Mayor’s Team at the Table
This community outreach program invites Market-goers to engage with the mayor and various department heads from the City of Bloomington government.
This Saturday, Margie Rice, Corporation Counsel for the City of Bloomington, will be greeting the public at the Market between 10 a.m. and 12 p.m.
