Just checked their site and they have a GREAT lineup of performances for opening day.  From 8 to 9:30 AM they have Beatles\/British Invasion musician <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/golightlymusic\">Jeff Golightly<\/a>&#8230; then from 9:30 to 1 PM <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kenandrobyn.com\/\">Ken and Robyn Greene<\/a> will play.  Those are some excellent and talented musicians&#8230; why does this event have to take place so blasted early in the morning?  Also, at 10:30 the dancers of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.desertrosedance.com\/\">Desert Rose<\/a> will put on a belly dance demo.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re there for the food, best to get there right at 7 AM for your pick of strawberries, lettuce, arugula, micro-greens, spinach, radishes, broccoli, broccoli rabe, carrots, red beets, Swiss chard, Brussels sprouts, goat cheese, beef, chicken, pork, eggs, fruit trees and shrubs.<\/p>\n<p>Hungry?  Two of the best chefs in the city, Michael Patrick (EP&#8217;s &#8211; 9:00) and Felicia Willett (Felicia Suzanne&#8217;s &#8211; 11:00) will give cooking demos.  There&#8217;s also a new Market Cafe this year serving breakfast and lunch foods.<\/p>\n<p>There will be pottery demos at 8 and 10, and MFM will give away free slices of strawberry cake at 9:30.<\/p>\n<p>What a schedule&#8230; looks like I&#8217;m going to have to choose between sleep and the Farmers Market.  This looks too good to miss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the excitement about Music Fest, don&#8217;t forget that this Saturday is the first week for the 2007 Memphis Farmers Market.
