Meet The Market Team

		FIONA ADAMSKY - Born in the UK, I moved to the Lehigh Valley in 2000 when I accepted a position as Lab Manager for the Resource Recovery Laboratory at Keystone Cement Company in Bath. I live in Lower Nazareth Township with my honey, Sean, and beautiful children, Abigail, 6, Aaron, 2, and stepson, Kory, 13. Several years ago, I was asked to attend a meeting of the Bath Borough Business Revitalization Program (BBBRP) which fueled a desire to become more involved in the community where I work and live. The birth of the Bath Farmers' Market has been a natural extension of the work we perform on the steering committee for the BBCP and combines my interest in volunteer work with my passion for gardening, cooking, and of course, eating! I love to visit farmers' markets to find fresh, unique, and locally produced food.
