Preview Day!

All But One Dinner is a potential new vendor for the 2025-26 Indoor Market. Learn more about their products and try a sample at Booth #23 on the west side of High Street (near Joya’s).

We’re a locally inspired food startup created from a passion to simplify dinnertime without sacrificing nutrition or flavor. These fully cooked, five‑serving meals are thoughtfully crafted with high-quality ingredients and frozen fresh so your freezer does the preserving, not artificial additives. Just add the one requested ingredient – broth or rice, and dinner is ready in minutes. Whether you’re feeding a busy family or planning meals for the week, our dishes bring all the comfort of a home-cooked meal made easier for your busiest days.

The Angry Italian is a potential new vendor for the 2025-26 Indoor Market. Learn more about their products and try a sample at Booth #34 on the west side of High Street (in front of La Chatelaine).

Last name Mazzoni... what can I say. I guess I’m as Italian as they come. Our family emigrated from the Calabrian region of Italy a mere two generations ago. Bringing with them, some great recipes, particularly the art of making great Italian sauce. My fondest memories were going around Nonna and Nonno’s house every Sunday morning, helping pick the best tomatoes for making sauce. It was easy to fall in love with cooking. Biased as I may be, I learned it from the best!

Trick or Treat!

Stop by the market information booth (corner of High St. & New England Ave., in front of the Graeter’s Ice Cream parking lot) and enjoy a sweet treat on us! Staff and volunteers will be in their best spooky costumes! Bonus points if you are, too! Look for participating vendors throughout the market! Happy Halloween!

Food Truck: McGinnis Grill

McGinnis Grill specializes in gourmet sandwiches served up on crispy, buttery griddled Texas toast. Chef John (3rd Course Chef at the Market-to-Table Dinner!) offers a variety of breakfast, brunch and lunch options. And don’t skip the home fries!

The McGinnis truck will be parked on east High Street in front of US Bank.

Producer & Market Partner News

Foris Extraordinary Meats, Booth #67, Dewey’s Pizza Plaza

Taste what Autumn has to offer this weekend! We're sampling coffee bacon, Thai Style Sai Ua Sausage, and Andouille Sausage, along with our collection of salamis. Plus, a special BOGO offer on Lupo and Fino salamis. We'll also have a market-exclusive tasting of Sai Ua Bolognese. Be curious!

Honeyrun Farm, Booth #82, Graeter’s Parking Lot

We have so many interesting questions about our beeswax candles at the farmers market! Here are just a few we've received over the years:

"Is this made out of honey?"
"Can you eat this?"
"Is this soap?"

No it's made out of beeswax, not honey. Technically yes, you could eat it, but I wouldn't suggest that. And no- it's not soap- it's beeswax!

Ridiculously Good Salsa, Booth #6, Southwest Village Green

Meet Hi Heat! Blazing flavor meets bright, juicy freshness. Packed with habanero + jalapeño heat without losing that Ridiculously Good taste.

“Best hot salsa ever.” “Flavor + heat = perfection.” “Always a fridge staple.” — our customers said it first!

Sweet Ghost, Booth #26, West High Street (near Joya’s)

The pumpkins are BACK! 🎃 And quantities are SUPER limited (seriously, we've only got 20).
