Justin and Tara Brant are assembling a stable of vendors for an indoor farmers market in downtown Dover.
They plan to open Black Swamp Artisanal Market in April in a 1,200-square-foot store at 204 W. Loockerman St., leading a team of more than 30 vendors offering farm-fresh meats, eggs, vegetables, flowers, honey, ice cream and baked goods along with handcrafted soaps, lotions, jewelry and furniture.
“Our goal is to highlight local crafters and producers,” Justin Brant said.
The market is named after their farm in Felton, and they named their farm after the road it’s on.
The Brants started raising pigs and chickens two years ago, and they joined the Delaware Farm Bureau. Tara Brant is a registered nurse, retired from the Army, while Justin Brant serves in the Navy but looks to farm full-time soon.
