Mission
Planting Seeds of Awareness in Support our region's farms by: connecting consumers directly to local food producers, strengthening urban-rural community bonds, educating the general public on the benefits of eating locally produced food.
How to Shop at a Farmers Market:
Take a walk - Walk around the market to check out what's available. Ask a seasoned market shopper and they will tell you - there's a lot of delicious stuff to be discovered that isn't always obvious.
Bring sturdy Shopping Bags - It's easier to carry produce in a sturdy bag, plus, it helps reduce waste! You can also purchase one of our beautiful canvas bags at the market!
Cash & Carry - Plain old cash is the main currency at Farmers Markets.
Ask for a Sample - Most vendors are glad to let shoppers sample before buying.
Ask Questions - If you see something you're curious about, vendors can tell you about their products and their favorite ways to cook it. Other questions to ask a vendor: How much longer will this be in season? How should I store this? What unusual products will you be bringing to Market next week? You'll come away with the knowledge you need to fully enjoy your purchases.
