The Market is a traditional farmers market. Primary sales will be locally grown farm products, baked goods, and homemade crafts. Farmers may collaborate with other local farmers to bring their product to Market. All items sold by the applicant will be reviewed and must be high quality, safe and an enhancement to the Market atmosphere. If your items are NOT handmade, homemade or homegrown, you will be asked to remove them from your table or leave the market. Organically grown products must be certified by the State. You cannot use "organic" wording to describe your product unless it has been certified organic.
