Outdoor Market Grand Re-Opening

By Freight House Farmers' Market

May 11th is the Outdoor Market Grand Reopening celebration.

We will be open this Saturday May 4th, however the weather has changed our festivities to May 11th.

Our outdoor vendors have been busy all spring planting, transplanting and potting all of your favorite items.  We have planned a special grand reopening of the outdoor market with lots of activities and great healthy food choices.  Kevin Boyd a local musician will be on the main stage, so grab a coffee and muffin or a full lunch and sit for awhile and enjoy his easy listening style.

Or, for some excitement, enjoy the marching band play as you select from the great variety of fresh fruits, nuts, vegetables, dairy and meats that the market offers every week all summer long.  You can finish all of you weekly shopping right hear and have some fun while doing it.

Mothers day is fast approaching , and it is the perfect time to start your own garden, whether a flower garden or a vegetable garden you can find all your bedding plants right here.  Wouldn't mom enjoy a nice hanging basket that flowers all summer, get one for her and one for yourself also.

Bring the kids; let them enjoy life like a farmer!

Millers Petting Zoo at the market on Saturday May 11th!
The kids really enjoy the farm animals up close and touchable!  Many vendors encourage the kids to sample and learn about fruits and vegetables that they don't normally eat.  A great opportunity to eat, learn and have fun for the whole family!

Can't decide on a gift?


Buy Farmers Market Gift Certificates!


Be sure to buy plenty as they make great gifts.  Remember that the certificates support local farmers and vendors and 100% of the money stays local!  Great food, wonderful gifts and local vendors all will add to your shopping this year.  Stop by the Market and pick some up on any Tuesday or Saturday. They are good all year round at all of the vendors so pick some up for yourself and enjoy the market all year.
