Farmers Markets
A great place to meet
a friendly place to enjoy your day

     

Come see us at some of our shows.

You'll find us vending at several local farmers markets (I've listed them below) where you can visit with friends or find new acquaintances while enjoying a variety of local goods, treat yourself to home-made treats, fresh fruits and vegetables, plants and flowers, handcrafts, and all sorts of other specialty items, all the while remaining in the open air with an old style flair.

Come see us at the craft shows (also listed below), where we will have a larger assortment of our gourdcrafts.

At each market we offer our very best. We start our year growing over 30,000 plants; from that selection we bring annuals, perennials, ornamental grasses, vegetables and herbs along with a variety of blooming container arrangements, gourd birdhouses, feeders, nesting balls and other gourdcrafts.

We are always glad to see our customers and share our knowledge, experience, tips and ideas, so stop by and say hello.

The markets we vend at and our schedules are below, we will continue to update this page and post changes and additions as we become aware of them, please continue to check the calendar shown at the bottom of this page for changes.

There can be no other occupation like gardening in which,
if you were to creep up behind someone at their work,

I appreciate the misunderstanding I have had with Nature over my perennial border.
I think it is a flower garden; she thinks it is a meadow lacking grass,
and tries to correct the error.
~Sara Stein, My Weeds, 1988

A perfect summer day is
when the sun is shining,
the breeze is blowing,
the birds are singing,
and the lawn mower
is broken.
