The Market hosts over 15 local vendors who offer a variety of locally grown produce, handmade products, and freshly made foods. Among the selection of seasonal produce, you can find fresh tomatoes, oranges, and strawberries. All produce is picked at its peak of ripeness. Vendors sell pre-packaged snacks such as glazed nuts, dried fruit, and salsa. Some favorites among students include fresh strawberries, homemade hummus and pita chips, pupusas, and sushi.
