Christmas decorations have been in stores since the summer and holiday music started playing on the radio in the fall. It’s hard to believe the big day is almost here! No matter how hard I try, it’s impossible to cross all the tasks off my to-do list in time for the festivities. But don’t worry – you can still pick up everything you need for the perfect meal or those last-minute gifts tomorrow. Shopping at the farmers’ market is the perfect opportunity to find truly beautiful, handmade, local gifts that will show your friends and family how much you love them! If you can’t decide, stop by the Information Table and pick up a gift certificate to add to a Christmas card made by a local crafter. And while you’re here, don’t forget to pick up fresh produce, cheese, baked goods, meat and much more for your special holiday feasts!
We hope you got a little rest during the snow storm and that you’re excited to be outside this weekend after being cooped up indoors. This was quite the way to end a big weather year and was a tough break for our farmers. Lift your local farms up this December by shopping local for your holiday needs. You’ll find everything for your special meals at the market, along with beautifully made and packaged gifts for all the loved ones on your list.
We hope you’ll bundle up and join us at the market tomorrow morning! The temperature will drop on Sunday through early next week so it’s the perfect time to warm up your house with soup. With all of the root veggies and vibrant greens available right now, there’s no wrong way to prepare a hearty soup for your family.
