About the Market
Background
The Farmers' Market operates every Saturday from May to October, providing a platform for local Amish families and other vendors to sell their goods. The market culminates in an annual Harvest Festival, celebrating the end of the season with various activities and demonstrations.
Practices
The market emphasizes traditional, non-electric methods, particularly highlighted during the Harvest Festival where activities like soup beans and apple butter are prepared over an open fire.
The Rest
In addition to fresh produce, the market offers jams, jellies, candies, handcrafted baskets, rugs, soap, flowers, and herbs. The Harvest Festival includes a quilt show, pumpkin painting for kids, craft displays, demonstrations, and a car, tractor, and motorcycle show, along with live entertainment.
