The Centerville Farmers Market was established by the city of Centerville, with the inspiration of Michael Malone, for the purpose of providing the Centerville community with access to fresh and wholesome goods. Vendors selling locally grown or produced goods also promote and complement the vitality of downtown Centerville’s commerce. Market hours are 1 to 6 p.m. every Thursday until Oct. 29, rain or shine. The Farmer’s Market is in the public parking lot on Maple Avenue in historic downtown Centerville. Winning posters will be displayed at the Farmers Market.
