Our Farmers Market is more than just a food market; it is an important social gathering. Once a week people fromall over the island come to the Market to resupply their food larder and to socialize. What should be a 10-15 minute buying experience turns into an hour or more of sharing stories, catching up on gossip (gasp!), and networking on problems facing individuals or the community as a whole.
In addition to farm produce, the Market also has an ecclectic selection of local crafts people selling their products and has a different musical group playing each week.
This year the Market will be one of four groups sponsoring a day long "Cider Fest" in October. The planning for this event has been in the works for several months and will culminate in an event to be enjoyed by all age groups.
