With the fabulous fall weather we've been enjoying, the fields are bursting with greens, brassicas, sweet root vegetables and so many good things! A trip to market this Friday surely won't disappoint, and your farmers and producers will be so grateful for the direct support through this beautiful, delicious and truly abundant season. Make the most of a wonderful variety of local produce while you can!

A few notes for 10/23:

See you Friday! 3–3:30pm for Seniors + others at-risk / 3:30–6pm for all

PREORDERS are still welcomed, appreciated & recommended by vendors who have the option. Find this week's lineup below, and place orders by the deadlines noted.

WINTER SEASON IS COMING!

Starting on November 6th after the time change, we will shorten our hours to 3–5pm. Naturally, the number of vendors will begin to decrease slightly at that point as well, but we are working to add a few special guests through the holiday season!

  • Market will be open every Friday in November + December EXCEPT for the weeks of Thanksgiving 11/27 & Christmas 12/25.
  • We will operate bi-weekly from January to April. Stay tuned for more details and exact schedule!

We greatly appreciate our market community's continued cooperation with distancing as much as possible while shopping and wearing a mask. Our producers also appreciate your respect as you interact with them! Let's continue to work together to keep each other healthy through the cooler seasons. Thank you!
