The seventh annual Westgate Farmers Market may not officially return until June 4, but residents throughout the city recently received a glimpse of what is to come this season. On May 21, more than 20 vendors selling a variety of items that include plants, baked goods, beverages and garden and farm raised produce and meat set up shop at 2925 West Broad Street while dozens of residents browsed and bought their goods. Among those shopping for presents was Maya Griffith who thought a pleasant smelling candle from Simply Vela Candle Co. would be a perfect gift for an upcoming birthday. The Westgate Farmers Market is held on the first and third Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. It will run through Oct. 15. For more information, visit their website at www.westgatefarmersmarket.com.
