The farmers and market managers would really appreciate your efforts to help spread the word about our fantastic market. What a great local resource for fresh, local farm products. Please pick up a few business cards to hand out to your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Advertising is very expensive, and we want to use our slim market funds in a responsible manner.
Good morning!
Did you know that by ordering on the locallygrown market, you are virtually assured of receiving the “cream of the crop” from each farmer? You will receive the best products picked and made with pride especially for YOU! You can’t get any fresher and higher quality than that! Thank you for supporting your local farmers and small businessmen and women.
The market is open as usual, and will remain open for your orders till Tuesday at 10 pm.
Please be sure to read the section of the page entitled “Important Ordering and Pickup Information.”

John Erdmann from Erdmann Farm writes:
In anticipation of cooler weather, I have planted some radishes and onions. Radishes should be ready in the next couple of weeks. Earlier in summer, I planted two small pumpkin patches. With all the rain we are receiving, the pumpkins are growing nicely. I expect to have pie pumpkins available mid October. I will be travelling some, so will be missing some weeks.
