Where it started
One Saturday.
Sixty five vendors.
A field full of flowers.
In 2026 we opened the farm for a single day and turned it into a market. Local makers, growers, bakers and artists set up across the field. There was music, there was food, and there were far more of you than we dared hope for.
It's coming back in 2027, and it's getting bigger.

For makers
Become a vendor
Applications open January 1, 2027 and close February 12, 2027 at midnight. Every applicant hears back by February 19, 2027. Join the waitlist now and you'll get the application details in December 2026. The waitlist isn't an application and doesn't hold a spot.
What we look for
Handmade or local, great photos and a beautiful booth, a fit with the market's feel, something unique, and a good mix of categories so vendors aren't competing side by side.
Key dates
Fees for both days
Your booth includes a 10 x 10 white tent with 3 walls, set up for you, one 8 foot table and two chairs, and two vendor passes. There's no power, so bring a battery pack or a quiet generator if you need one.
Little Entrepreneurs,
age 14 and under
Young makers get their own tent in the flower field, with at least 15 tables at $50 a table. A first group sells on Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm, and a new group on Sunday from 12 pm to 4 pm.
Food trucks and
drink vendors wanted
We're making room for 5 to 7 food trucks and drink vendors in 2027. A food truck or trailer spot is $200 for both days.
A note from Cory
Welcome to Summer in Bloom
Last August we opened up the flower field for one day and hoped a few of you would come.
1,140 of you came.
Sixty five makers filled their tents. You wandered from booth to booth with an iced drink in hand, found a spot under the umbrellas, and stayed for the music while the sun went down over the Peace.
We are so grateful you showed up for this little market in the flower field.
So naturally… we're going bigger. Two days this time, and a night market on Saturday.
Bring your mom. Bring your friends. Take your time.
See you in the flowers,
Cory
