1. A Reusable Shopping Bag

Fresh produce, baked goods, handmade items, and local treats can add up quickly. A sturdy reusable bag makes it easy to carry your finds while supporting a more sustainable shopping experience.

2. A Water Bottle

Summer evenings in Bayliss Park are beautiful, but they can also be warm. Staying hydrated helps you enjoy your time exploring vendors, activities, and everything the market has to offer.

3. Cash (Just in Case)

Many vendors accept credit cards and mobile payments, but having a little cash on hand can make transactions quick and convenient.

4. A Cooler Bag

Planning to purchase meat, dairy products, fresh produce, or other perishable items? A small insulated cooler bag helps keep everything fresh until you get home.

5. A Friend or Family Member

The Farmers Market is about more than shopping. It's about connecting with your community. Bring a friend, neighbor, family member, or coworker and make an evening of it.
