4pm-7pm. Marktplatz. Don't miss it. We believe it's important to think and act locally. Buy locally grown and produced foods for your table. By supporting your independent, local farms you'll in effect also help the environment by reducing the damaging transportation emissions and excess packaging which ends up in our landfills. Most importantly, nothing tastes quite as good as something that was picked and prepared fresh that very same day! Enjoy the options your market provides every week. You can find us every Thursday through the end of September.
