Local artisans, farmers, chefs, craftsmen, and small business owners gather for a cozy farm market with extra variety. Shop for handcrafted goods, farm-grown foods, and other unique finds in one place. Maison Intimate Catering offers Sunday Supper meals to enjoy with views of grazing animals and open fields. A small farmyard petting area gives visitors a chance to meet sheep, calves, chickens, and a pony, which is especially appealing to children and grandchildren.
