This is one of the areas most celebrated institutions. The first market, held on a summer day in 1972, drew participation from three producers the following week, there were five. That summer, market participation peaked at a dozen vendors, mostly vegetable producers. Today the market has blossomed into -one of the nations best markets according to Audubon magazine-.
