Come out and enjoy Grogan's Mill's Weekly Market

the village of grogan's millThe Village of Grogan's Mill Farmers Market is now open every Sunday from 8am to 12am. The farmers market is one of the longest running in the area and is the only of its kind open year-round, rain or shine. Organized by the Grogan's Mill Village Association, the market is unique for its emphasis on naturally produced and locally sourced products, with all proceeds going to local charities. The weekly market was conceived as a great way to raise money for great local causes while promoting the Grogan's Mill Shopping Center as well as the community as a whole. The market currently makes its home in the parking lot of Randall's Food Market along Switchbud Place.
