We continue to struggle to keep our market strong and our community programs going.  Please consider donating.  Special thanks for the donations that keep coming in through the market’s GoFundMe campaign.  https://gf.me/u/x3svaq

Help us to keep the market open by doing your part.  Please wear your masks and social distance at all times.  All food and drink is to go.  There is no eating or drinking inside the market.  If you are sick, please stay home.

Thank you for your continued support of our local food system, this local market, local farmers and entrepreneurs.

Stay safe stay strong.
