Every Tuesday, year-round, you can join the treasure hunt with more than 175 vendors at Root’s Old Mill Flea Market. And then, every Saturday, April through November, join us for Root’s open-air flea market.
Every Tuesday you’ll have the opportunity to bid on live animals, equipment, fresh produce, flowers, and shrubs. Or bring your wares to the auction, where they’ll be showcased and offered to motivated buyers.
