Carp Farmers Market is open every Saturday from 8 am to 1 pm, from May to October. There are many vendors to choose what you are looking for. They sell a good variety of fresh homegrown vegetables, homemade baked goods, honey, candles, wine, soaps, and a variety of other things for your home. Thier is entertainment (music), and there are plenty of food vendors if you get hungry. Today, I tried a jumbo hot hot dog with fried onions, I kid you not. It was the best hot dog I have had in a long time. Every Saturday from now on, I will try a different dish of food and add it to my comments. They have plenty of free parking, and dogs are welcome but must be leashed. There are plenty of goodies for the kids also. Get thier early as all the baked goods are usually a big hit. You will know by the lineups which vendors are popular. If you have never been to the Carp Farmers market, I suggest you go, you will not be disappointed. I can't wait till next Saturday. ...

Lovely way to spend an hour or so on a Saturday morning even if you don't buy that much. Plenty of vendors selling a wide variety of things from hard cider to kimchi, live music and even lamas. There's a lot of parking so that shouldn't be an issue. Not that much food to buy to eat there but there's some Korean and indian as well as a coffee place - I expect there was more pre COVID but not sure.

Most items are rather expensive I guess up to the individual if they think it's worth it considering the artisanal nature of the items but obviously you could just look around for free and soak up the atmosphere. Carp itself is somewhere worth checking out as well though in some ways better to visit when the market isn't on because it makes the place much busier. The market runs from the start of May to the last weekend in October on Saturdays...
