Other vendors frequently join the Market on an occasional basis. They may just be “passing through” or filling in for a regular vendor who is absent for the day. You never know who or what you might find at the Fresh Market. It’s another great reason to… GET FRESH EVERY TUESDAY! Please note that this list of vendors is subject to change.
