Vendors, Products & Weekly Happenings

Saturday, March 28, 2020 

​

Thank you for all your continued support as we move forward together through this crisis. We want your visit to the market to be as safe and as simple as possible, so we appreciate your patience with our new controlled entry system. Our vendors want to help you get what you need as efficiently as possible, so several are set up to take pre-orders and pre-payments. We encourage you to reach out directly by going to our vendor page.  

Please also consider participating in a CSA program. Community-supported agriculture is a food production and distribution system that directly connects you with your local farmers. You buy "shares" of a farm's harvest in advance and then receive a portion of the crops as they're harvested. Those vendors who offer this service are marked accordingly on the vendor page. 

We hope to see you Saturday. In the meantime, here are some official resources:

Did You Know...?

...Chefs are a catalyst for the market's success and in educating the public about the importance of local foods and supporting local farms

"The chefs who shop at our market and buy from local farmers have been a principal force in driving the local foods movement," says grower Sam Koenigsberg of New Town Farms. "They have made the market what it is today and have helped the market continue to grow. They have that platform - through a plate of good food - to educate people. That plate of local food is the window back to the farm. Chefs have an enormous role in advancing the market and making more local food available for you, the consumer."

... that the musicians who play so beautifully volunteer their time and talents?

We are so grateful for the enjoyment their music brings.
