Mission accomplished: January and February farmers' markets took place for the first time since 1975!

We cannot express enough gratitude to those intrepid customers that have bundled up week after week to support us in our transition to year-round markets.

Our first market of the year would have traditionally been this weekend (first Saturday in March), and instead we have an amazing seven 2019 markets under our belt.

We've put in our order for better weather for the rest of the year, so hopefully we'll have some milder market days soon. But regardless of the forecast, the calendar doesn't lie: spring is approaching, and there are only 9 more markets before we move outside to City Square Plaza!

Here's what we have in store for your this Saturday, March 2: 

First markets of 2019

This weekend's market will have some faces you haven't seen in awhile. Be sure to pop by to visit: 

Angela's Own Homestyle Originals (pictured here) - a finalist in our recent People's Choice Award for Best Vendor and a longtime RFM mainstay (she's been attending nearly 20 years!), Angela is back this weekend with her dips, mixes, and much more! You can expect to see her at every indoor market from here on in.

Chimney Cake (pictured above) - we're delighted to welcome Attila and Edina back for their second RFM season with their delectable Hugarian specialty Kurtos Kalacs (a.k.a. Chimney Cake). If you haven't tried this unique baked treat, this weekend is your chance. You can expect to see Chimney cake at most indoor markets from here on in. 

...and back in after a break!

This weekend also marks the return of:

Ponderosa Alpacas - whether you'll looking for happy eggs or beautiful farm-raised and handknitted alpaca fibre items, Dorothy can help. Expet her at all indoor markets from here on in.
