A PRODUCER-ONLY MARKET | REAL FOOD FROM REAL PEOPLE

Each week, we invite local musicians to perform at the market. We love providing a space for local folks to share their art, and equally excited about creating a space for shoppers to just hang. And the sounds are a great backdrop to the shopping experience.
