This farmers market was started by two enterprising individuals who live in the Hilltop, and wanted to bring a market to an under-served area of town. This market takes place from 9 - 1 pm on the first and third Saturday of the month, from June to October. They have just about everything you'd get from the larger markets, but at a smaller scale. There are multiple produce vendors, several of which are truly urban farmers as they grow their items right down the street from the market; can you get any more fresh than that? Highland Youth Garden is usually here, so you can get fresh veggies from smiling children who are growing and learning about the plants, then taking them to market to sell. We have a local coffee roaster, several amazing jam-makers, local honey, mushrooms, and a fantastic meat/egg vendor as well.
The Veggie SNAP program is offered here, so if you bring your SNAP card, you can receive DOUBLE the amount of funds toward purchasing fresh produce. They also take credit cards, so if you're strapped for cash you can exchange credit for tokens. The first market of the month typically has cooking demonstrations from Local Matters, so you can learn how to cook with the seasonal produce you're buying! Lots of available parking on the street or in a church lot across W. Broad St.
This market may be small, but it is mighty. Come out and see what makes this area of town so special; affordable prices, easily accessible, and really friendly people!
