Welcome to the Cooper-Young Community Farmers Market! We’re small, but we’re like family. Find us in the parking lot of First Congo every Saturday, year-round: 8am–12pm April through October, and 9am–1pm November through March. Come browse locally grown produce, grass-fed meat, homegrown herbs, warm baked goods, all-natural soaps, fresh-cut flowers, hot coffee and live acoustic music. We’re family, kid and dog friendly.

FAQ

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pay with a credit or debit card?

Yes! Most of our vendors accept credit and debit cards directly. For vendors who don’t, you can buy market tokens with your card at the information booth. Tokens come in $5 increments and can be used with any vendor on any item, and vendors will give change if needed.

Do you have live music at the market?

Yes we do! We typically have live music at the market most Saturdays around 10am. If you’re a musician and would like to share your gift with the farmers market audience, please email our market managers at marketmanagercycfm@gmail.com, JustinCYCFM@gmail.com, or CydCYCFM@gmail.com.

Is this a rain or shine market?

We are a year round market that remains open rain or shine, with two exceptions. During the summer we monitor the temperature closely, and if the heat index exceeds 100, we may make the decision to close the market early. During the winter, if snowy conditions make it unsafe to drive or navigate the market grounds, we may choose to cancel the market. These decisions will be communicated on our social media and newsletter.

Can I bring my dog to the market?

Yes! We are a dog friendly market and in order to allow dogs everyone must follow good manners. We ask that you have respect for our farmers, artisans and the space they create to display and sell the products they work hard to produce.

  • Keep your dogs on a leash.

  • Remove your dog from the farmers market area if it starts having an altercation with another dog or is too rowdy. If an issue is identified and you do not remove your dog from the area immediately, the market manager will ask you to do so.

  • Don’t allow dogs to hike their leg and mark any structure or item on market property. If your dog makes a mess, please carry poop bags to clean up and dispose in our trash receptacles.

  • Do not assume everyone is comfortable around your dog; please respect other’s space.

Remember, the market is a food distribution area with many people. Please have good manners and cleanliness. Thank you for your cooperation.
