Every Saturday, Butte’s Uptown Farmers’ Market operates on Park Street west of Main in Historic Uptown Butte and offers fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, local plants, and crafts — products provided by nearby farmers and artisans — for community shoppers.

The market runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and invites locals to enjoy farm-fresh goods.
