As most know, our market hours have changed to better support our vendors and enhance your shopping experience!

We’re now closed on Mondays to give our hardworking small business owners a well-deserved break.

This change also allows us to focus on behind-the-scenes improvements and offer extended shopping hours, we’re now open until 7 PM Tuesday through Saturday, making it easy to stop by after work!

Construction on the square is coming along beautifully, and we’re on track to reopen next month just in time for summer festivals and events!

Plus, cooking classes will continue through July before taking a short pause while we prepare for an exciting new and improved kitchen. Stay tuned and up to date on our website!

New Hours:

Mon: CLOSED

Tues-Sat: 9 AM – 7 PM

Sun: 10 AM – 5 PM

Hasbeans Coffee, Market Café & Mona’s open at 8 AM via Talbot St. entrance.

Thank you for continuing to support local!
