Market Update for November 22nd

This is our last market before Thanksgiving!

Shopping at the farmers market for Thanksgiving means bringing the freshest, most flavorful ingredients straight to your holiday table. When you buy from local farmers and artisans, you’re supporting families in our own community and helping small businesses thrive during an important season. You’ll find unique harvest produce, handmade goods, and specialty items you won’t see in big stores—all picked, baked, or crafted with care. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday by giving thanks to the people who grow and make the foods we love.
