tips
I think it goes without saying, ARRIVE EARLY. Early bird catches the worm, especially true at farmers markets. However, showing up at a fashionable 10am is always a vibe. So we get it. Most vendors now a days accept card and modern payment but cash is king at the markets baby. Bring some reusable bags, plan ahead for this one. 200 vendors makes it quite the trek. This is a Lord of the Rings style adventure hitting up every single stall. Check the calendar below for some events.
