The Market Square Farmers Market is over for the season. We had a fantastic Farmers Market this past season with Downtown patrons enjoying tons of delicious, local produce, flowers, baked goods and more each Thursday. Thank you to everyone who stopped by once, twice or every Thursday to experience the best Farmers Market in the area! The market will be back next season so look for details coming in late spring, 2012!
 

FARMERS MARKET

Each Thursday, enjoy over 50 varieties of produce, beautiful flower bouquets, fresh pies and more at the Market Square Farmers Market. Meet friends for lunch at one of the outdoor cafés or purchase hot foods from the vendors and sit at one of the colorful umbrella tables in the center of the Square—it's a fun and lively atmosphere you won't want to miss!

Need an idea for a quick and delicious recipe? We got you covered! Print out our market recipes and get all the ingredients at the Farmers Market! You can also grab a hard copy of the recipes (which include a convenient shopping list) at the market.
