Start your visit by stopping at the Rathskeller a few doors down or across the street at The Norwegian and grabbing a coffee, and then head to the market to shop all the local goods.  Pick up a bottle of honey from Doug at Medearis Apiary, and then stop one tent over for a jar of Irish Pickles from McConnaughy’s Irish Pickles or talk to the team at Screw City Food Co-Op to learn more about co-ops.  Grab a delicious treat for your pet from Canine Crunchery.  And then find your seasonal produce such as apples, pumpkins, gourds, concord grapes, plums, pears, green beans,  greens, carrots, tomatoes, and more at Twin Maple Orchard & Farms and Broadview Farms.  Finally, top your morning off by grabbing a delicious handmade tamale from Angie’s Tamales and anything from a traditional chocolate chip cookie to a fun individual cake in a jar from Quixotic Bakery.

“It has been a great season and we look forward to seeing everyone for the last two weeks at the market! ” Nikki Lee, Vendor Manager
