For example, one cup of baked butternut squash is rich in vitamins A (from beta carotene), B6, C, and E, as well as magnesium, potassium, and manganese. COVID 19 Updates: Our patrons may still place preorders for pick-up at the market during 2021.

Our patrons, vendors and farmers' market team appreciate it. We encourage social distancing, and hand washing/sanitation while on-site at the market.
