Blue and white canopy tents are set up on a grassy area beside a paved path, shaded by large, sprawling oak trees under a bright sky.

Before the gates open on November 21, the market has to be paid for. The Springs Market is Sulphur Springs' own farmers market — local sellers, fresh food, and free admission for every family, at 915 E Grant Ave on the Hillsborough River. A market day is not free to run. Before the first neighbor walks in on Saturday, November 21, the market pays for insurance, restrooms and a hand-wash station, an extra-duty officer, and event security. The standard cost of one market day is $2,896.78, and every line of it is priced on this page. Getting the market dressed costs more again. The banners, signs, and printed materials, and the shirts the volunteer team wears, come to $2,093.54, paid November 7 — bringing the full cost of getting this market going to $4,990.32. Give what you can. Every gift is a community investment in a market this neighborhood owns — and on November 21, you can come see exactly what it bought. Then the season rolls on. At the Holiday Festival, our Giving Tuesday campaign opens: a season of fresh food for Sulphur Springs, building toward SNAP readiness on January 15, 2027. This campaign gets the market open. The next one keeps it fed.
