We have several bakers who work diligently to bring you freshly baked goods and crafters who bring you various gift items and home use products. Plum tarts, shortbread cookies, muffins – mmm good! Baguettes, rye breads, sourdough breads and buns of several different kinds, whole wheat breads and white breads with dates or raisins or apricots in them. You can find jams, jellies, and salsas and nut butters to accompany the breads! Jewellery made by the vendor will add to your outfit or create a special gift. Photos made into cards, cloth bags, or a print for your walls! Pamper yourself with soaps, lotions and creams, or herbal eye and neck pillows. Then dress for the occasion in a tye-dyed t-shirt, child’s dress, hoodies, or even undergarments! Our leather crafter repairs saddles, makes belts, and watch straps and much, much more. We offer crocheted items and quilted goods. We even have thought of your pet dog or cat with treats and toys!

You can actually purchase you breakfast, lunch and dinner groceries for the week!

While perusing the Market, enjoy a lunch of “sausage on a bun” as you sit at one of our picnic tables. Dance to the music or sit back and listen to the sounds around you. Our Pioneer Museum offers an Old Barn Books where you can pick up a book for yourself, a child, or a friend!

Our pamphlet rack offers local beaches, parks and trails for you. Historical sites and local restaurants are listed as well.

Then walk around the Market once more before you travel on your way. Come again the next week for a truly country Farmers’ market.

Come – see what we have for you!
