Monticello Farmers’ Market Revival
To the editor:
Great news for the area that The Farmers’ Market on the east end of Monticello’s Broadway - now called Lou’s Produce - is reborn with the fiscal backing of local business leader Joe Rea.
The reopening of this landmark maintains a well-known retail outlet for nutritious locally sourced produce under the new ownership and management of Lenny Williams with his decades in the field, while also lightening the burden of food insecurity in our community.
After shopping at The Farmers’ Market for more than 30 years, I think we should all be pleased at this development. I’ve also bought several cars from Rea Ford-Lincoln Inc. over the years and know and respect Joe. He invests well and keeps his word. It’s great to see an old-time business surviving.
