Happy National Farmers Market Week! Join us in celebrating farmers markets everywhere as an essential part of our food system and an essential part of our community!
We wouldn't have a farmers market to celebrate without you, so we want to take this moment to express how grateful we are for your continued support week after week. We know your hard-earned food dollars could be spent elsewhere, and we appreciate that you choose to support local as much as possible and through ALL seasons.
When you stop by this Friday, we welcome you share your appreciation with your farmers and producers – the incredible people who put their heart and soul into bringing their locally-grown & locally-made products direct to us each week.
Gathering every Friday to connect with each other while supporting local is truly a highlight of our week, and we hope you feel the same!
Keep reading for what's fresh and in season this Friday 3–6pm, rain or shine!
