Over 20 season vendors signed up for 2021

We can’t wait until Saturday.

It’s when Bluffton’s farmers market opens for the season in the Citizens National Bank parking lot.

The market is open rain or shine each Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon from May 1 to Oct. 30, according to Greg Probst, market manager.

This year over 20 vendors are already signed up, and with many seasonal items, don’t expect that many booths on Saturday.

The market is a program offered by Bluffton Area Chamber of Commerce.
