The Wednesday markets will go from 3-6 p.m. and the Saturday markets will go from 8-11 a.m.

The market will be held at the farmers’ market lot at the corner of Jackson and Washington streets.

“We have had a couple people who will sell baked goods or  canned good. We’ve got some people who will sell soap that they’ve made. Just basically some homemade items,” Tarver said. “We hope to bring more vendors and we’d love to encourage anybody that would like to participate to please come to our meeting.”
