“There’s four great reasons to come to the market,” Sam Heighton, market manager, said. “Don’t forget to do your shopping and complete a great day.”

Fall items are appearing, but Heighton said the market still offers a variety of fresh produce and homemade items, honey, crafts and baked goods.

The Farmers Market is open 7 a.m.-3 p.m. today and Saturday on Second Street in downtown Ironton. It is a project of Ironton aLive and is sponsored by Our Lady of Bellefonte Hospital.
