How long is it?

The season lasts from April to October. We divide it into three sessions. If you apply as a vendor you'll be asked which session you want to attend. Saturday and Wednesday markets have different start/end dates, but they both fall on the same week.

The Mobile App

Our market doesn't last all year, but our app does! You can have access to a ton of your favorite farmers market goods and order them when you want very easily. During the Market season you can your orders up on the square at our office and in the off season at Bike Rack Brewing Co. on 8th Street.

Special Events

We do events at our market as a way to bring more people to support our farmers and crafters. Everything we do must boil down to them. Even when dogs are all over the square during Dog Days, do it so vendors can make a living. See the schedule below for more info on these events.

Sponsor the Market

We all know that a great way to promote your brand is to sponsor something awesome. This event will be no exception. If you'd like to support the community by lending us a financial helping hand, talk to our Executive Director Andrew Heath.
