The Market at Pepper Place wants to help its vendors grow, so last August it launched a free business workshop series in partnership with BBVA Compass.

Here’s the full lineup:
April 2: 9-10 am – How to Obtain Credit for your Small Business
April 23: 5:30-6:30 pm – Small Business Mixer Meet-up
May 21: 9-10am – What’s Next for your Business?

March 30 and April 6 will be the last indoor markets of the winter season at Pepper Place. Then it’s back outside Saturday, April 13, rain or shine. Hours for both indoor and outdoor markets are 7AM-noon.
A note on pets: The Market loves your furry buddies. Just keep in mind that during the winter indoor market, they need to stay outside unless they are secured in a stroller or in your arms. The outdoor market beginning on April 13 is pet-friendly.
Come visit Penton Farms of Chilton County at the Market at Pepper Place for your first local strawberry fix of the season. Supplies are limited, so don’t dillydally in the morning.
