In case you haven't heard, beginning this Saturday from 9 am till noon, and continuing through February, you'll be able to find your favorite RAM farmers and food artists at FRAM. FRAM (Farmers @ RAM) is RAM Unplugged--no art, no bands, no jugglers, just great local food and produce. Here's the lowdown from Tony's newsletter:
QuoteFFFFFFRAM SATURDAY 9am to Noon!
PARK ON SITE!
BURRR May be an understatement!
Close your eyes and remember back to our Grand Opening of RAM back in April.
Clear blue skies, temperature under the bridge a breezy 72. Friendly people and dancing kids and sniffing dogs. The river glistening in the Spring sun.
Well that ain't FRAM.
But we bet you'll love it anyway.
Making an appearance at that kick off event in April showed your pride in the community and an affinity to the arts and local agriCULTURE. It was also THE PLACE to be seen. We know this because everyone in Duval County was there.
Now, think how much it will mean to our near frozen farms and food artists if you show up on Saturday to support our farmer growers and their delectable friends. IT WILL MEAN A LOT!
Everyone needs fresh farm food and we have great produce coming in despite the chilly temps.
But we like to make sure you come out and here is how we know you will:
