Duane's Top Shelf Artisan Market and Thankful Thursdays

THANKFUL THURSDAYS in the mall at Sears in the latest and greatest undertaking of Duane Clark, founder and CEO of Duanes Top Shelf Artisan Market. Duane has been a strong supporter and participant of the Alaskan Farmers Market scene for many years. He's the "go to guy" in the leather hat those in the know seek out for produce, meat, and local goods.

He brings together a host of cutting edge, top of their game, Alaskan small business friends each week. The focus of his Thankful Thursday market is building up local economy by building up the very people who participate in the effort.

Both his vendors and customers know this is the place to come to be lifted up with a smile, educated from a local expert, and purchase the finest products available in market offerings.

He offers a wide range of vendor choices including dog treats hand prepared by a local chef, organic teas, spices and salts, baked goods so fresh and delicious you are taken back to your grandmas kitchen, meat, seafood, jams, jellies, honey, and local small batch expertly prepared ferments.

When you shop local you support your local economy. When you vend locally you support your local economy. When you vend and shop on Thursday you support a network of true friends and neighbors.

Are you a local permitted food producer or grower interested in vending with the locals who understand the importance of building up from a strong foundation? If you are, Duane wants to talk with you.

*With the summer of 2017 upon us, Duane is now a part of the effort to revitalize Town Square Park in front of the Performing Arts Center. Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10-2
