The SummerThyme Market is the spot to be at. A place for good conversation, shopping and fun. Full of diverse local small businesses comprised of farmers, artists, and chefs. We view the market as a community. The vendors here look out for one another, and help through initiative. The amount of care that is shown cannot be compared to any other market in the area. Come to The SummerThyme Market! Laugh, eat, shop and enjoy games with good company!
