Shop the first weekend of Summer with us, Market Customers!
It’s officially summer! And the abundance of greens, flowers, and veggies piled in our farmer booths is evidence. There will also be fresh strawberries this weekend – blueberries aren’t quite ripe yet, but soon! You’ll also find sausages and meats as well as Alaskan prawns and shrimp for your grill or broiler. It’s also been exciting to see what our youth vendors are bringing to the Market each week. Make sure you stop at their booth and support our youth.
Every Saturday day through Labor Day Weekend, our PoP (Power of Produce) Club has a free Kids’ Activity at the Market where your kids can learn about and even taste locally grown produce! Children completing the activity each week earn a $2 token to spend on fruits, vegetables, or food bearing plants! The program is designed for kiddos ages 5 to 12 and teaches children to grow and prepare their own produce.Reminder: Bring your market basket for your shopping or a box for your plants. Our vendors also appreciate small cash bills, especially if you are shopping early.
