We're lucky to have excellent Farmers Markets in quite a few local towns. See below for the details about each town's market and a link to their website or Facebook page so you can check for special weekly events. All Farmers Markets are also listed on our Event Calendar every week.
Take advantage of these local markets and pick up some fresh, locally-grown and prepared food. All markets feature fresh produce and many also have bakeries, local honey, artisans, pasture-raised meat, fresh fish, gourmet cheese and other items, and fresh eggs. Larger markets may also feature musicians and children's entertainment.
Note that many Farmers Markets offer increased SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefits up to $10 per week. Visit the market coordinator's tent to enroll in the program.
