Tomahawk Farm & Flea Market has resumed its season with about 21 vendors selling each Saturday and plans to operate through the end of October.
26 years after starting with about five vendors in the senior center parking lot, the market now runs from Qualheim's True Value parking lot and still has room for roughly 23 to 24 booths.
Sue Stefanich, a board member and vendor, said the market continues drawing interest from local sellers, with one or two people a week calling about booth space.
Vendors offer goods ranging from sourdough bread, crochet items and seafood to tomato plants, tools and furniture, giving local small businesses a regular outlet rain or shine.
