This season the market will keep it’s usual hours, from 3:00 PM until 6:00 PM every Tuesday, at Orofino City Park, through the summer. Opening day of the 2014 season is June 10, with the last market slated tentatively for October 14.
Early markets usual center more around crafts, and packaged and prepared foods, such as granola snacks, jams and jellies, and baked goods — including a very wide variety of homemade breads. Plants for yard, garden and nursery are also common.
Depending on spring weather conditions, produce also starts appearing slowly over the summer, and by August is the dominant feature of the market with a wide variety of fruit, berry, and vegetable offerings.
