Rhubarb Botanicals will be continuing the farmer’s market to be hosted at Rhubarb Botanicals Flower Farm, located just south of Mount Vernon (681 Hwy. 1 South, the former Morning Glory Farm location)

Rhubarb Botanicals began stewarding the land of Morning Glory Farm and Event Venue in Mount Vernon in January of this year.

“With such a prime location just near the intersection of Hwy 1 and Hwy 30, we’ll be hosting many events throughout the year,” Emma Barber said.

The couple will maintain their herbs and sheep farm north of Mount Vernon, but the flower farm and herbal apothecary plants will now be grown at the new flower farm location.

“We are looking forward to continue to grow beautiful plants and bring community together here,” Barber said. “We are grateful for Donna and Bill’s warm welcome to be the next stewards of this farm.”

Rhubarb Botanicals announced that vendors applications are now open for the farmers markets, slated to begin again this May, with opening weekend being Saturday, May 3. Farmers markets will run from 9 a.m. to noon.

“You can expect to find local produce, fresh cut flowers, plant starts, local meats, herbal products, coffee, bread and baked goods, prepared food and more at our market each weekend,” Barber said.
