Summer market season has arrived, and now in almost every corner of Mineral County, you can find a collection of growers, artists, crafters and artisans to buy from.

Alberton holds a farmer’s market from May through September on Thursdays from 4:30 to 7 p.m. The Superior Saturday Market will get underway at the old Schoolhouse on June 8 at 9 a.m. to noon. And now even the West End has a market of its own, it’s called the Pop-Up Market at the Hideout in DeBorgia every other Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m.

One of the vendors, Naomi Mesenbrink, the face behind Phun-E Farm, sells various gifts at the markets like fresh flowers, duck/chicken eggs, organic lip balm and monster cookies. 

“Last summer, Michelle Hahn, the manager at The Hideout in DeBorgia, started inviting vendors to participate in a "Pop-up Market" every other Thursday. It's like a mini farmer's market conveniently located for the West End,” she explained.

This year’s markets got started again on April 25 and will continue every other Thursday through the Fall. Anyone is welcome to come and set up a table to sell.
