Located in the historic Twin City Produce building at 106 Avenue A in downtown Sterling, the Market features a wide variety of vendors: meats, eggs, cheese, seasonal produce, artisan goods, crafts, baked goods, and so much more. The Market also features a commercial kitchen which is used by many of our bakers to prepare their goodies.
