Salisbury Farmers and Artisans Market

Handcrafted and homemade brings a whole new definition to goods! Providing an outlet for small businesses to grow, the Salisbury Farmers and Artisans Market is definitely a go-to stop every Saturday.

For at least a decade, local artists and small businesses have participated in a weekly farmers market in Salisbury. After switching locations a few times over the years, they have finally found their forever home. Officially being incorporated as a non-profit organization since 2020, they continue a weekly market every Saturday at 3134 Main Street.

Susan Linkletter, current president of the Salisbury Farmers and Artisans Market, says that the market’s goal is to help small businesses grow. With the hope of helping more local businesses in the area, there are plans to expand the upper level to provide a space to rent.
