Kale is plentiful and it’s never too early to plan for an abundance of tomatoes!

Looking for Organic Produce?
BHM has 2 USDA Certified Organic Growers: Amy’s Garden and The Byrd Farm

How about our other grower/producers? Each of our growers strives to use the quality, sustainable, natural growing practices to ensure you are getting the best local produce available. Ask them! They’re proud of their products and love sharing what they do and why.

New vendor this season:
Ninja Kombucha
– by the glass or in bottles to go this truly refreshing and delicious fermented tea is often flavored with fresh ingredients from Byrd House Market vendors and other local producers.

It goes great with EVERYTHING!

Did you know your SNAP EBT will buy FOOD PLANTS?
It’s a SMART way to stretch those fresh food dollars! Create a kitchen container garden someplace with full sun. Plant herb and cherry tomato plants for fresh flavors and high nutrition all summer long. First time gardener? Ask at the Market Info tent or any of our farmer vendors!
