The Ruston Farmer's Market was created in 2008.

The Ruston Farmer's Market is opening an extra day each week in July. In addition to Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon, the market will be open Tuesdays 4-7 p.m.

The Ruston Farmer's Market has been operating for 11 years and has now grown to have over 30 vendors, offering fresh meats, eggs, and vegetables. "We wanted to open a place where people could buy local, fresh produce," says Dasia Canales, the manager of the market.

All of the food is locally produced. The market also features craft vendors, prepared foods, and coffee. Shoppers can rest at a picnic bench and enjoy live music from local bands. More information about the Ruston Farmer's Market is available here.
