Connect with our producers at...
Secotan Market Open House
Every member of our producer family works diligently to grow, raise, prepare, craft or create the range of ALL LOCAL food and goods that end up at market.
We are honored to share the products of our labors with an incredibly supportive community. But we believe our customers deserve much more .
As we embark on our FOURTH season together, we wanted to kick it off right!
We invite our friends and all enthusiasts of the rich tradition of local production to an amazing FREE day of quality time with our crew of producers.
Our crew at the inaugural market in 2018
We rented the entire space at Island Farm so that we can SPREAD OUT and DIG DEEP. Wander the property’s 10 acres, filled with family-friendly demonstrations and displays from our wonderful producer family, old and new!
Our humble community believes that CONNECTING with one another is equally important as selling our products.
This is a rare opportunity to get a closer look at the behind-the-scenes PROCESS and PRACTICES as we share why we are passionate about our work.
