We are offering a new option for local businesspeople that complement
our food options. One local business per week will be offered a slot
at the farmers market to offer services and goods that the market
doesn't offer for $25 per week. We suggest once a month attendance. If
you're interested, please contact us.

Coming Attractions : Unfortunately, ECO City Farms' status is questionable
for 2017. Musachio Produce is out until ? Red Chimney Farm will be coming
back on a guest vendor basis. Many new vendors will premiere this season.
Next week, we introduce McLeaf's Orchard offering great tree fruit &
veggies.

We're outdoors from this Thursday through November with our neighbors,
friends, and vendors. Outdoor market is coming soon! As always, it will
trickle along
until the weather stays warm for a while and more things come up from the
ground.
It's still an exciting time of year, even if it takes a while to get going.

Important Notices:
Outdoor market runs every Thursday from now to November
16 @ 3 to 7 PM Thursdays.

Food safety notice: Due to our county's health department regulations,
dogs are no longer welcome at the farmers market. We love dogs but had
too many incidents. Important note about parking: only parallel
parking is allowed on Maryland Ave (the road that passes under
East-West Highway) -- please do not park in any other manner.
