 Every week, the market features live music from
local acts such as Soundwagon, Glenn Sasser, and
Cary Hudson. While farmers come with fresh
produce, vendors at the market provide goods like
handmade pottery and toys for purchase. Vendors
participating in the market include Bryant’s Produce,
J. Wilson Pottery, and Dorothy’s Herbals. With
ethically-raised meats, natural body products, and a
variety of tasting samples, those who attend the
market will be supporting not only the farmers
involved, but themselves as well.
