As a supporter of The Stop, I'm familiar with the organization and not surprised that this place is close to a kind of market utopia. "Bobos in paradise" for a good cause.
Bright young people trawlin' the stalls and tasting treats in between shopping for veg. Young families with their kids frolicking about in the gardens and playgrounds. Old hippies telling stories and advocating for their causes. Beautiful dogs running around and enjoying some reasonably priced artisanal dog treats. ...I may have just made up that part about the dog treats, but this probably does or will exist here.
There is a great balance of vendors, ranging from the esoteric (e.g. Kiriki Press DIY embroidery doll kits) to the absolutely delicious (e.g. ChocoSol's Southern Mexican inspired drinking chocolate: Xocolatl). And psst: although The Stop's Farmers' market takes place every Saturday, the Barns Art Market only happens one Saturday a month from May to October (with a special holiday market in December). If you visit the barns on these particular days you will get to enjoy a delightful double market!
Can't Stop Won't Stop!
