Enjoy cooler temperatures and plentiful shopping, Market Customers!
September and October are our favorite months at the Market. There’s so much fresh produce, the energy is more relaxed, and parking is easier for find. The crowds may be a little thinner, but we’re not winding down! This is the best time to get beautiful, healthy food from our farmers and ranchers, and our artisan, food, drink, and craft vendors are well-stocked.
Our Market is also more than the products we sell. It’s a place where neighbors, families, and friends come together to support local farmers, artisans, and small businesses. September 25 is the last Wednesday Market of the season in Riverstone, 4:00 – 6:30 pm. Join us in building a stronger community, one Market at a time.
