Like their shoppers, each vendor at the Indie Market has their own style. Differences aside, the Indie Market has established a close-knit community. One, which was built from the shared love of local and artisanal businesses, each carrying on the tradition of handmade craft. 

Founder of the Indie Market and Canned Ham Vintage owner, Ashley Rodgers hopes to hold the market year-round in the future, not just during season. Whether you’re a baker, farmer, craftsperson, or spectator, be sure to stop by the Indie Market for a uniquely entertaining experience.
