National Farmers' Market Week may be over, but we saved one more treat. 💚

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our Fresh Perspectives pop-up and shared what makes the Downtown Farmers' Market so special. We couldn't resist putting together one more video featuring some of our youngest Market fans.

Thanks for celebrating with us.

Swing by Shutt’s Garden Center when you’re shopping at the Market. From St. Mary’s, the Shutt family has been coming to the Market since 2002. You can find watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes, zucchini, peppers and cucumbers. They also have a wide variety of succulents and hanging baskets for sale. You can find their booth on Court Avenue just east of 2nd Avenue!

A few extra fruits or vegetables can make a big difference! 🫑

This Saturday, purchase extra produce from your favorite Market vendors and donate it at the Meals From The Market booth. Through a partnership with DMARC, fresh, locally grown food is distributed to neighbors in need throughout our community.

Meals From The Market is proudly supported by John Deere.

Rollin’ Around The Market gets a behind-the-scenes twist this week! 👀

Colin dives into a busy Saturday with the opportunity to serve as Market lead for the day. But even a new role couldn’t keep him from his cinnamon roll duties, so Shandy's Bakery was next up for the taste test.

Come along for one eventful Saturday at The Market! 🌻
