Our monthly festivals celebrate seasonal products with tastings, children’s activities, contests, recipes, and educational information — all focused on the festival theme. The festivals also educate consumers about the many benefits of supporting regional agriculture and “eating local”.

Market School and Group Tours– Prearranged basis
Market Tours are a fun, educational program where small groups of students, tourists, and civic groups take guided tours of the market complete with talks from local producers and product tasting.  Tours create the perfect opportunity to learn about how food is produced, why it is important to make good food choices, and to meet the farmers and artisan food producers from the market
