Seasonal offerings include Fraser fir Christmas trees and wreaths, carving and heirloom pumpkins, and fresh-pressed apple cider, plus a daily paint-a-pumpkin activity.

The market runs a $25 bag deal that includes a free item choice of a dozen eggs, a pineapple, or a coho salmon filet, as well as a $99 pumpkin wagon deal.
