Yes, you certainly can eat healthy meals in the winter! This is the place to find wonderful winter vegetables, alfalfa sprouts, delicious pork, beef, and chicken cuts, dried herbs, tempting baked goods, rich creamline milk, organic free-range eggs, raw local honey, jams and jellies.



KIC Produce sends along a message to customers:

This is the last week for both the Spring and Summer CSA shares at their discounted price. We have lots of healthy seedlings started for 2016 and will have a wide variety of veggies and fruits for our CSA friends!



White City Produce & Greenhouses sends this message:

I have added our 2016 CSA to the market. I am also running a Feb. promotion. Order by Feb. 29th and receive $25.00 off the share price. That’s getting 1 week of fresh produce Free. I already adjusted the price to reflect the discount.



It’s great to be able to get locally grown foods in the winter. But our farmers’ market is not just about eating healthy. Please take note of some of the other types of products on this market, all locally produced. We have a great selection of hand crafted farm products, candles, essential oils, bath & beauty products, baled hay, and houseplants.
