Mission Statement
The market was set up to promote and encourage the growing, making, rearing, and selling of local produce and products. We wish to advance the move toward more natural products and chemical-free practices, while at the same time encouraging the local population to value, support and spend on locally grown and produced products.
We would like to see friendly interaction between all involved with the Farmers Market and foster a positive atmosphere of a lively, busy, social weekly event. We value exceptional quality, diversity, local and home-made products.
