You could also find a variety of items at other vendors including fresh baked whole wheat bread made from fresh milled Jerauld County wheat, salad baskets, small paintings and exotic hides from the Durdles. Baking apples were available as well as farm fresh eggs. The market is part of a program and grant from the South Dakota Department of Agriculture to encourage local markets.
