Mt.
Baker Farmer’s Market begins first
season
The
Mt. Baker Farmer’s Market began
its first season June 10, selling lots of fresh produce,
arts, crafts, and local, homemade goods and filling a
much-needed void after the Foothills Farmer’s Market
disbanded last year.
Kristin
Dahn and her husband, along with Crossroads Grocery’s
new owners Dave and Jen Halliday, organized the market
after concluding the foothills community needed better
representation.
“We wanted to harvest the talent the foothills community
has to offer,” Dahn said. “We’re really
excited because we’ve put a lot of work into this.
It’s going to be a huge benefit to the community.”
Dahn added the market’s location in Kendall where
Mt. Baker Highway and Kendall Highway intersect, will
provide a convenient and centralized location for most foothills
residents.
The
market is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays at the Kendall
elementary school front parking lot and on Wednesdays from
4 p.m. to dusk. For more information, call 599-9545 or
988-0533, or visit www.mtbakermarket.com.
Couple buys Crossroads Grocery
Maple
Fall’s
popular Crossroad’s Grocery has
new owners and new plans for the future.
Foothills
residents Dave and Jen Halliday bought the popular
market last month and said they have plans to purchase
the entire building in coming months. The 9,000-square
foot complex includes Mountain Dos hair salon, Mt. Baker
Baptist Church, Foothills Visitor’s
Center.
“This is a little store we’ve always shopped
at and we didn’t want it to go away,” said
Jen Halliday.
Former
owner Lance Bailey put the store up for sale after he opened
his northwestern cuisine restaurant Fool’s
Onion in Fairhaven last fall.
Halliday
said they plan to expand their eclectic selection of natural
foods, local produce, and movie rentals but also add other
items.
Crossroads Grocery is open daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
and is located at the corner of Mt. Baker Highway and
Silver Lake Road. They can be reached by calling 599-9657.
