The Online Market and Farmers Market are CLOSED October 8


Because this Saturday is the Homegrown Festival in downtown, we are taking a break from the online and in-person markets this week!

Come downtown Saturday from 9am-5pm and enjoy the Homegrown Festival! We’ll have lots of booths featuring local artisans, plus food trucks and more!

The following week, October 15, is the last Saturday of our outdoor market in Memorial Park. It will be our last Kids Day (which will have a pumpkin theme since it’s October!) as well.

Beginning October 22, we will be starting up our first ever Winter Market! While the weather is nice, it will be located in front of the Moss House (next door to Memorial Park). Once the weather gets bad, we’ll move the Winter Market indoors to the basement area of the Moss House (there is a sidewalk leading around the building to the basement area for those who don’t want to navigate stairs etc.). The Winter Market will feature 6-8 of our vendors throughout the winter months, and will include a (smaller) selection of local meats, produce, baked goods, and artisan crafts. It will run from 9am-noon on Saturday, from October 22 to December 17 (with a one week break right after Thanksgiving).

We hope to see you October 15 and at the Winter Market!
