On Monday, May 11, the Village of Monroe announced on Facebook that the farmers market would not return for the 2026 season because it did not have a manager. Community members quickly started to volunteer to fill the vacancy.
The first to reach out was a longtime vendor of the Monroe Farmers Market: Jeremiah Lacsina, owner of Elijo’s Natural Soap. Lacsina is now working with the village to run this year’s Farmers Market.
According to a statement from the village, more information regarding vendor applications, schedules, and market details will be shared in coming weeks.
