Das Marit Market is off to a great start this season with vendors offering flowers, baked goods, and a variety of handicrafts.

During the month of June, the youth of First Mennonite Church will be taking over the waffle stand to raise money for future ministry trips. They would love to make and serve you a fresh, hot Belgian waffle for your donation! Please consider supporting their endeavor.

Das Marit Farmers and Artists Market just completed its 17th season serving local farmers/gardeners, artisans, and the public. It takes many people to make a market like this successful—volunteers who help in many areas; vendors who make, bake, or grow their items they offer for sale; and customers who support the vendors through their purchases.

Because of these three groups of people, Das Marit was able to make donations to several ministries in the community such as The Hope Clinic, Compassionate Ministries, Agape Respite Care, LifeWise SA, and LifeWise AC. If you had any part of the market, THANK YOU for making these donations possible.

This Saturday, October 4, is the last day for Das Marit Market for the 2025 season. Come on out for the last market from 9 am - 12 noon for food, fellowship, and your favorite finds!

Be sure to ask the vendors how to contact them during the off season so you can enjoy your favorite items until the market begins again in 2026.

A huge thank you to all the vendors, volunteers, and customers for making the 2025 season another success!!
