Thursdays on College Hill are fresher than ever with the farmer’s market taking place Thursdays from 4-6 p.m. June through October. Students and faculty can take advantage of the local produce and other goods sold weekly.

“The farmer’s market is a unique experience immediately connecting you with the product and the person who made it,” said Regan Jamieson, market master of the farmer’s market on the Hill. 

This is the second year the farmer’s market on College Hill has been held. Like most markets, the College Hill market includes fresh local produce and handmade goods. There are currently 10 vendors selling items such as produce, coffee, plants and more.

Most vendors accept cash, credit cards, EBT and checks. 

“The farmer’s market has a nice assortment of produce within an easy walking distance of campus,” said Kara Poppe, senior geography environmental systems major and avid consumer at the market.

“I like seeing familiar faces each week and interacting with the farmers who grow the food that I eat, but I would love to see more students visit the market,” Poppe said.

Kamyar Enshayan, founder of the market on College Hill, also expressed that he’d like to see more faculty and staff visit the market.

Jeff Bush, co-owner of Shell Rock Honey, expressed he would like to see more vendors, though only two spots remain in the 12-vendor lot.

On the fourth Thursday of every month, local artists provide live music to market attendees.

The College Hill farmer’s market will be hosting a College Day on September 11th, allowing students, faculty and staff to take advantage of free samples and recipes that use the ingredients the vendors sell.
