The holiday season is fast approaching, and at Monroe Winter Farmers Market, we have lots going on. The holiday shop is in full swing now; each Saturday, several artists and crafters are joining our regular vendors. It’s a full house inside the Sherman Theater. And if anything goes well with locally-grown, it’s locally-made!

Santa in the Market
For the next two weeks leading up to Christmas (that’s December 13th and 20th), Santa will be at Monroe Winter Farmers Market. That’s right – the jolly elf himself. Little ones are invited!
MarketBucks Sale Bundle
To make gift-giving a little easier on the wallet this year, MarketBucks (gift certificates) are on sale. When you spend $25, we’ll give you $30! These come as individual $5 certificates, so they’re the perfect size for giving to co-workers, neighbors, teachers, and acquaintances. They even make great stocking stuffers. You can buy them Saturday mornings 8am-noon at the market or online in our new shop. (Go ahead, click the link!)
Custom Gift Baskets
We’re also adding something new this week. At the market info table, basket making is available. It’s easy… shop at the market, pick out what you want to give as a gift, then bring your purchases to the info table and we’ll assemble and add the finishing touches to your custom gift basket.
If you’re not sure where to start, that’s no problem either. We’ll have baskets already made. Look for the info table near the entrance of The Sherman Theater.
Stocking Stuffer Ideas
There are a lot of great stocking stuffer ideas at Monroe Winter Farmers Market when you look around. Jams, jellies, preserves and gourmet spreads make great stocking stuffers for almost anyone. Our vendors Dutch Hill Preserves and Special Lady’s Specialties have quite a bit to choose from.

Can you really think of any better gift than those? I think not. Although, the gourmet mustards from Apple Ridge Farm are a pretty good choice, too.

Our vendor, The Kitchen Witch, has some great products that make great stocking-sized stuffers. She is not only an artist of soap and wonderful bath products, The Kitchen Witch is a bee-keeper. Her products are made of honey she collects and goats’ milk from her own goats. Soaps, bath bombs, and lip balms are perfectly giftable.
