The most interesting reviews
- It’s great way to start your day. Depending on your comfort with crowds make it an early start! The variety of booths are great! I love dogs and you’ll see a lot of them. It seemed like most owners are responsible enough to only bring pets that are sociable with other pets and people. The food is great and you’ll likely run into someone you know. It’s a nice place to learn something from local business owners. Again…I suggest you come early and beat the crowd.
- One of the BEST farmers markets in the Country. Dozens of local farm booths with fruits, vegetables, beef, pork and dairy. MANY different ethnic foods. Delicious meat and riced wrapped in cabbage leaves in a spicy red sauce from Bosnia!
