Old Town North Farmers’ Market

Greetings from The Old Town North Community Partnership

Market Hours: 3:00-6:00pm

Yesterday was Memorial Day. A day of remembrance and thanks for those who gave their lives in service to their country.

Let us also give thanks to those who continue to serve; our military, our first responders, doctors, nurses and, in this time of crisis, those who continue to staff our grocery stores and volunteer at not for profits throughout the country.

Thank you!
