I’m going to the Farmers Market to get something
Going to find out what the farmers did bring
Located behind where the popcorn wagon use to sit
Going to go there and see what I can get
Farmers from Yooper country, bring their produce into town
Upon the stands they’re placed, for us to look around
Grown here, in the U.P.
Maybe I’ll find something there for me
Once I bought some beets, and I tried something new
Made a beetroot sandwich, like the Australians do
Tomatoes, cucumbers, and some green beans
Several other foods, many assorted greens
Squash is there in Autumn, Acorn tastes so great
Zucchini is good in bread, it’s something I ate
The farmers take pride, and bring them there to share
Placed upon the shelves so we will be aware
Come down and take a look, the prices can’t be beat
You’ll find something good that you can eat
I’m proud of all the farmers that take the time to grow
All the foods at the Farmers Market, that helps enrich your soul
The Farmers Market is located between North 9th street and 1st avenue North here in Escanaba, and has been around for many years. Opened early Saturday, and late afternoon on Wednesdays (when in season).
