Where Locals Go for the Farmers Market on Saturdays

For many in Old Towne Orange, the weekend starts with a familiar routine — a visit to the Orange Home Grown Market. Held at 303 West Palm Avenue, the market has become a steady gathering place where fresh, locally grown produce meets community connection.

Each week, residents and visitors can shop for quality fruits, vegetables, and locally made goods while enjoying a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Farmers, artisans, volunteers, and customers all play a role in shaping the market’s character, creating a space that feels both purposeful and personal.

What sets the Orange Home Grown Market apart is its rotating schedule of activities that give each Saturday its own focus. The first Saturday of the month invites guests to begin the day with yoga, offering a calm start to the weekend. On the second Saturday, cooking demonstrations highlight seasonal ingredients and simple ways to bring local food into everyday meals. The third Saturday is family-focused, featuring Kids Club activities and seed lending, while the fourth Saturday spotlights a handmade marketplace, celebrating local artisans and creators.

Beyond shopping, the market provides a place to slow down, catch up with neighbors, and support the local food system. It’s a space where relationships are built alongside routines, and where small, consistent gatherings strengthen the larger community.

As Old Towne continues to grow and change, the Orange Home Grown Market remains a reminder of the value of local traditions — fresh food, shared spaces, and the simple act of starting the weekend together.
