Come see me tomorrow at the North Scott Farmers Market! Only 2️⃣ markets remaining in Park View.

08/13/2026

The DeWitt Farmers Market is moving inside today! I'll be in the larger room of the Community Center.

I won't have my full inventory with me, so let me know if there's something specific you'd like me to bring.

*This post is outdated*

‼ We're moving *INSIDE* on Thursday, August 13th‼

While the storms look to be done around 3pm, that doesn't give our vendors enough time to safely setup. So we'll be inside the DeWitt Community Center today from 3:30-6:30pm.

Please spread the word!

💜💛 School Spirit Day special guests will be moved to next Thursday (the weather forecast looks much better). It will be a combined School Spirit Day & Conservation Day!
