Slippery Rock Farmers Market is a cheery market full of friendly local farmers selling fresh fruit, produce, wildflowers, bread, preserves, soaps and unique handmade gifts.

The market, which opened in May and runs from 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays can be found in downtown Slippery Rock’s Gateway Park along New Castle Street, between Main and Elm streets.

In addition to the items for sale at the market, each Saturday also features live musical performances.

Between 15 and 20 vendors gather on a typical Saturday, including Normand Homestead, which is run by Nick and Tamila Normand. Their small family farm in Slippery Rock consists of a menagerie of sheep, ducks, alpaca, guinea hens and rabbits — as well as seven goats that provide fresh milk.

The Normands sell artisan breads, scones, goat milk fudge, soaps, lotions, eggs and seasonal produce at the market.
