Some days are better than others for a farmers market, and wow, did the stars align for us today! We’ve got sunshine, marimba music, an all-star lineup in the chef’s tent, the best street food in the city . . . and a pretty awesome (if we do say so ourselves) selection of the best local fruits and veggies, free range chicken and eggs, wild fish, and grassfed beef, lamb and pork. And that’s not even mentioning the award-winning cheese, hard cider, honey, breads, pastries and coffee. Come over and stay a while.
Who we are
Our market is independent and community organized. We have a steering committee, a year-round director, an onsite manager, two interns, a chef demo team, a handyman, and a “street team” of volunteers who serve as greeters and traffic guides. In addition, we have generous volunteers who help behind the scenes with graphics, photography, marketing, events and more.
