Forest Farmers' Market LLC — Local services in Forest

Fun and yummy Saturday morning adventure. Not just vegetables but bread, locally roasted coffee, sweets, jewelry, unique bird houses and crafts, etc. are sold. I arrived just before noon, the market closing time, but had time to look at several booths and to buy sensational salad fixings from Soulshine Farms, focal pendants and earrings, Costa Rican coffee ground to order and when brewed it tasted like the freshly ground beans smelled. I looked at essential oils, soaps, herbs, plants, baked goods, bird houses that are more like bird mansions..very unique designs.

Very good place to support local growers. If they dont grow it, they dont sell it. It's a nice mix of crafts, many choices of jellies, fruit, and vegetables. Good choices for food (not many meals but great snacks depending on who is there). Very different than downtown.

We just moved here and want to support the local flavor. They are all so nice and offer samples.

Open through the last weekend on Oct, and then many of the vendors move over to an inside rec center...
