Hello Market Shoppers!

 

It looks like we will have a SNOW market tomorrow!  These are the days when we love our bridge- our farmers and artisans will setup in a cozy circle in the upper portion of the market where we will all stay dry.

 

Some of our farmers may not make it if the roads in their area are bad.  We will update our website and facebook page as we hear from them.

 

In the meantime, take a look at the great farmers and artisans who are coming tomorrow in the section below.   

 

We hope you bundle up and come see us at the market!
