The sign ripped apart and blew into the area infront of the market located at 1233 North 3rd and Verbeke streets around 4 p.m. on Friday, according to Emergency Dispatch Services.
Photos of the sign in pieces were posted on Facebook shortly after the storm passed.
The extreme weather was part of a severe weather pattern predicted to hit the area earlier in the week.
No injuries have been reported.
The market originally opened on Broad Street (now Verbeke Street) In 1858 and is one of the oldest continuously operating farmers markets in the country.
The sign went up more than a century later in 1996, and is already slated for repairs to be conducted by RPM Signs & Lighting.
The timeline for those repairs is contingent upon the results of a GoFundMe campaign which is still shy of its $25,000 goal.
