Market Events

Keep up to date with our Market Events in our Sowing Growth calendar, newsletter, and our Facebook Page

See our Sowing Growth calendar for weekly Market themes, Pollination Station guests, Nature Discovery visits, and POP Club dates.

Many of our Market Sundays include musical performances at the Spotted Goat canopy (with tables and chairs for those who want to relax and kick back) and an Art Booth with Scott VanAllsburg, who brings out the artist in all of us. Scott invites all Market visitors to help in the painting the artistic canvas of the day.
