About the Market

Background

Known for its vibrant displays and seasonal diversity, the market has become a weekly tradition for many, enhancing the quality of life in the area.

Practices

The market emphasizes the importance of local agriculture, featuring products that are grown in the surrounding region. This focus on local produce not only supports nearby farmers but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with long-distance food transportation. The certification ensures that all products meet specific standards, guaranteeing freshness and quality.

The Rest

Open year-round, the market adjusts its hours seasonally in accordance with daylight savings time. It operates on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with specific winter hours available on their website. The market also hosts weekly events at no cost, encouraging community engagement and social interaction.
