March 30 and April 6 will be Pepper Place’s last indoor markets of the winter season. Then, it’s back outside on Saturday, April 13, rain or shine. Both indoor and outdoor markets are open from 7 AM to noon.
A note on pets: The Market loves your furry buddies. However, they must stay outside during the winter indoor market unless secured in a stroller or your arms. The outdoor Market, beginning on April 13, is pet-friendly.
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.
