The Market was started in 1975 as a place for small local farmers who have no ready market to sell their products. By joining together they created a marketplace. The Market was originally put together for the farmers, but eventually caught on to the crafters. There is a limited time for fresh produce and with the onslaught of winter the market moves indoors. Here two special sales are held every year, one in November and the final sale in December. After the Christmas sale, the Market retires until the following April to begin the new season.
