Poppies Gourmet Farmers Market

Come in and explore a whole world of tastes and experiences. Try a cheese you've never tasted before - maybe one you can't even pronounce - we'll tell you what goes best with it and how you can serve it. Would you like to know the difference between Spanish and Italian olive oils? Watch for our scheduled and impromptu tastings where you can learn all about different types of foods you'll see at Poppies.

Slow down and take your time to savor each meal - either at home or in our beautiful garden.
