Wednesday Market Saturday Market
 

Our Market

Started in 1992 with three vendors in a parking lot, we are now a year-round market on Saturdays with over 65 farmers, chefs and artisan vendors and on Wednesdays with a Market Supper, community themes and live music.  We transformed a turn of the century apple warehouse into our 9000 square foot Market home in 2010.  Now our Market experiences bring over a thousand people together every week for nourishment, live music, and a sense of community.     Learn more

Welcome to another Tip Thursday with the Market! This week we have been inspired by Tipsy Toad Grove Farm and their honest, intelligent and inspirational content regularly posted on their website, if you get a chance their most recent blog post '5 Years in- An Autumn Reflection' it is a great reminder of the hard work and passion that goes into local food production. However, their piece aptly named 'The Price is Wrong' says this about food pricing (it is sure to provide some food for thought): "If vendors don’t charge enough for their items: _ The market becomes unprofitable for the vendors and they don’t return. The market fails. _ Consumers develop an expectation that the product has less value, and therefore become unwilling to pay a realistic price. Farms fail. _ Consumers end up with less choice when it comes to buying local. The local food system fails. _ Dumping of product at unrealistic prices isn’t good for the vendor-ship, it isn’t good for the market, and in the long run it isn’t good for the consumer, either. Farmers markets aren’t flea markets… they are venues for local producers to sell quality product at fair prices, and make a living in the process. We need to cooperate to ensure that we CAN make a living. We also need to engage consumers and make sure they understand how and why prices are determined, and why sometimes our products are worth a little more than the chain store “equivalents”. If we undersell ourselves we’re underselling a whole local economy, it’s that simple. Make sure the price is right!"
