Land of Goshen Market kicks off on St. Louis Street in Edwardsville with high hopes

EDWARDSVILLE - The Land of Goshen Market opens for the first time this season at 8 a.m. Saturday and the expectations, as always, are big.

The market on St. Louis Street in Edwardsville near the Madison County Courthouse runs through Oct. 21 and Tara Pohlman, one of the organizers, and said she believes each weekend will have an abundance of vendors and farmer’s market style goods.

The farmer’s market portion will change as the gardening season adapts, but in the beginning there will be fresh flowers and a variety of vegetables. About half of the market is agricultural and the other half includes crafts, jewelry, baked goods, pies, breads, artist vendors and much more.

This Saturday there should be an abundance of opportunities to purchase Mother’s Day gifts or flowers for the special mom in each other’s lives.

Music will be featured each Saturday and even yoga is included. See coverage of opening day on edglentoday.com this weekend.
