Pepper Fest 2025

Come help us celebrate National Farmers Market Week with PEPPER FEST 2025!

Some highlights:
*Market Cantina, featuring tasty margaritas!! Just like the last few years, all marg sales will benefit the Area Agency on Aging X
*Fresh Pepper Roasting from Oakwoods Farm!
*Are you a true Hot Head?!? Join our fun Hot Sauce tasting competition and prove your mettle!
*Fun crafts for kids & adults!

You’ll be able to pick up fun stickers and tattoos that show your support for local food and farmers market–which is what we are all about! Summer produce will be in abundance, so this is a great time to visit before the busy back-to-school season hits.
