College football was front and center at Saturday’s Rogers Farmers Market. The grill was fired up well before kick-off on Saturday for a special tailgate-themed edition of the Rogers Farmers Market, appropriately called “Hog Harvest.” “One of the things my wife and I are really passionate about is engaging our community. You know, really any way that we can,” Rogers Farmers Market manager Grant Wise said.To make that happen, organizers have committed to having a different theme for each weekend through the rest of the season. But on this hog-themed weekend, it was the perfect time for first-time vendors like “Kota Coffee Roasters” to interact with the community. “I’ve had multiple vendors come and talk with me,” vendor Dakota Melton said. “Kind of gives me some encouragement on things. And honestly, we’ve just been vibing really well.”Farmers market customers say they enjoy the event for a number of reasons, including its convenience.”But, I also like it because of the variety of stuff they have,” customer Rebecca Powers said. “I come back all the time to get a new pair of earrings. I don’t even wear earrings to it, just so I can find one that I like for the day.”The Rogers Farmers Market takes place on Saturday from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the One Uptown parking garage.
