Where are you located?
When are you open?
We’re open every Friday from 11:30-5:30, May through November.
What do you sell?
We are a “producer-only” market, which means that all vendors must grow or produce the items they have for sale. Products you’ll find include, but aren’t limited to, fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh cut flowers, indoor and outdoor plants, baked goods (including gluten free), value added products such as salsa, jams, and honey, coffee, pasta, ready-to-eat/drink items, and health care products.
Some of our vendors are certified organic growers. Others use organic methods, but are not certified organic. All use GAP (Good Agricultural Practices). Feel free to ask any vendor specific questions about their farm or production methods.
