One of the places my wife wanted to check out during our visit to the Monroe area was the farmers market. She read good things and the hours were perfect for us to stop in on a beautiful Saturday morning in August. They are open every Saturday morning, April through December from
8am-12pm.
We arrived about 10am and it was very busy. The main parking lot was full and there was a small line of cars trying to find parking spots. We continued on to the overflow parking area closer to the river bank and there was plenty of parking available.
We walked up to the location of the market which is a covered area providing shelter from inclement weather and the hot summer sun.
The variety of the different booths is diverse. Everything from fresh vegetables, canned salsas, jams and jellies, baked goods, pottery, frozen meat, and fresh flower bouquets.
We enjoyed seeing all the various items and ultimately bought a package of six S'mores cookies which were incredibly delicious!
It's been quite some time since we've been to a farmers market and this is a great one. Highly recommend if you are in the area. read more
