OUTDOOR FARMERS MARKET

This Saturday marks our last farmers market of the season taking place 9am to 1pm outside on the Market Square.

See below who you can find outside on the Rotary Square for the next couple months! All of our vendors at the Farmers Market grow it, raise it, bake it or make it!


The 2027 winter indoor farmers market will be back upstairs in the Mezzanine 9am to 1pm, February 14th to March 28th. From there we will move back outside to the Market Square 8am to 1pm for the remainder of the 2027 season! We look forward to welcoming back our vendors in 2027 as well as saying hello to some new faces too!
