Summary
Janet Terry said the Olney Farmers Market has been operating nearly 20 years, employs about 120 vendors and contributes live music, social gatherings and local economic activity to the Olney area.
Janet Terry described the Olney Farmers Market as a nearly 20-year institution that has made Olney a more vibrant place to live. "We have about a 120 vendors now," she said, and noted that market visitors can meet farmers, ask where food comes from, and enjoy live music and community gatherings.
