The aim of the Farmers’ and Crafters’ Market of Wooster is to offer a welcoming and
friendly atmosphere to all who visit, buy, or sell at our market. Wooster Market is to be
a well maintained market operated for the sale of locally grown high quality, healthy
farm products and high quality homemade crafts at a reasonable price. Low quality,
inferior or imported goods and products are not acceptable for sale at this market.
The market will be open from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon on Saturday only of each week
