They carry certified organic produce, eggs, and meat, but most importantly promote buying local. The market is filled daily with live music, fresh goods, and food trucks.
The market began in 2010 and focuses on building a united community while promoting local food production and distribution. The market is “supporting local farmers who support the economy, the community and the environment” – and you can do the same!
