Farmers Market





The Green Market

At The Green Market, you’ll find local vendors who are using sustainable practices to create the most healthful products for our bodies and our Earth. Our vendors are dedicated to educating the public about how these practices affect health and nutrition thus you’ll find each vendor intimately involved with the creation of the goods you wish to purchase. The Green Market is hosted every weekend all year long but has two different seasons with vendors participating in one or both seasons.



The Summer Selling Season

We host The Green Market every Friday night from 4-8pm starting the first Friday in May through the last Friday in October. The vendors are on the front lawn with dinner being served on the deck from 5:00pm–dusk. Check out our Upcoming Events section on the website to find out this weeks menu. Look for the vendors inside the Red Barn and dinner in the Loft in case of inclement weather.

Vendor Certifications and Designations
Each Green Market vendor is designated as Meat/Cheese/Dairy, Vegetable/Plant, or Value Added with the latter providing a category for all packaged goods. Each category also has five sustainable goals created by the Farmer’s Advisory Board. Each goal achieved is noted by a star on the vendor’s sign which can be seen at the booths during The Green Market. The stars are color coded according to each vendor’s classification: Certified Organic, Certified Naturally Grown or “Pledge No” vendors receive gold stars for having virgin land or for being at least three years without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides; hormones for growth production; or antibiotic use during any phase of the growing or producing process. Transitional Certified Organic vendors receive green stars to show they are on their way to three years without the use of synthetic chemicals, hormones or antibiotics. No Certification vendors receive blue stars at The Green Market.
