Our Buy Local Fair Mission: to provide a venue that encourages cooperation between two of the most
emergent local economies: the local farm fresh food movement and locally produced art and craft.
We hope to afford both economies interaction with the other’s current patrons and to showcase the
unique beauty and artistic foundations of locally produced goods.

PLEASE no pets at the Buy Local Fair, THANKS!
