Last year, long-time Golden Valley Resident Kristine Frey and Leslie Hendricks, a resident of New Hope, started the market. The two friends wanted to create a community-center market where residents could come together to get local goods.
“We wanted to open a market that people could walk or bike to,” Hendricks said. “We think Market in the Valley creates a sense of community and we’re looking forward to another great year."

Free spaces are also available for non-profits to set up and for youth entrepreneurs.
“We encourage young people to set up at the market and learn a little about business,” Hendricks said. “I think it’s one of the things that makes our market a little different and we hope kids take advantage of the opportunity.”
