Halloween and All Saints Day have come and gone; the first snow of the winter is behind us and the Holiday season is almost here. With only two weeks until Thanksgiving, it is time to start planning the Holiday menu(s). Keep the Farmers Market in mind, along with our Valley heritage and traditions as you move into the Holiday Season.

There is so much to behold at the Market, and it is the perfect time to take advantage of the meats, fruits, vegetables, the cool weather varieties (tough there are still some late summer veggies available — like tomatoes and eggplant!), mushrooms, shelf staples (flour and cornmeal), honey, chestnuts and walnuts, dairy products, cheese made from cow and goat milk…some with delicious flavorings like pimento, dill, caraway and so on. Additional vendors round out the pantry with beautiful desserts, artisan breads, cookies, tarts, pies and more. Visit the Market for a pleasant and low-stress Holiday food shopping experience!
