In the 19th century, the Cockayne Farmstead was one of many successful family farms in Marshall County. To celebrate that agricultural history and connect the community to the farmers of today, the Cockayne Farmstead will be holding a Farmers Market on Wednesdays from 3-6 pm beginning May 29. We are located right on Route 2, directly across the street from John Marshall High School, and just down the road from Reynolds Memorial Hospital.
