The grand opening of Bishop's Farmers Market was a vibrant celebration of community and local craftsmanship. Located on the north side of Smolan, the market will showcase an array of home-grown produce, offering the freshest fruits and vegetables straight from a local garden, grown by Melinda Bishop. Shoppers can also indulge in a variety of home-baked goods, like sweet pies and cinnamon rolls, all made with love and care. Additionally, the market will feature unique, handcrafted jewelry, allowing visitors to discover one-of-a-kind pieces created by skilled artisans in the area. Various other local vendors have items showcased for sale as well.
