Holiday Open House - November 19th & 20th

Showcasing one of our own vendors:

Jenkins Country Comforts & Farm Market is holding a holiday open house today and tomorrow (Friday, 11/19 & Saturday, 11/20). Their historic barn and gift shop is located off scenic route 26 - just a few miles outside of Lacon going towards Peoria on Rt. 26. Look for the big red barn and open house signs!

Stop in for some hot apple cider, holiday gifts and decor and delicious handmade baked goods. You can't go wrong. Add it to your agenda for the weekend and be sure to stop by!

Indoor Winter Markets

Select vendors enjoyed Saturday mornings in October at the Atrium Market inside of Methodist Medical Center in Peoria. Fresh picked (chemical / insecticide free) baby greens, beets, farm fresh eggs, peppers, handmade breads, cookies, hand cut biscotti, granola, caramels and artisan jewelry are a just a few of the wonderful items found on the October mornings.

Offering an indoor farm market with local winter produce and locally handmade specialties continues for two more dates - in November and December. This is the perfect opportunity to stock up for holiday dinners and hostess gift giving.

WHEN:

Saturday, November 20th - 8:00 am to Noon

Saturday, December 18th - 8:00 am to Noon

WHERE:

Inside the Atrium in Methodist Medical Center on Main Street in Peoria with plenty of easy access FREE parking.

Thank you to all who came out in October and we look forward to seeing you this winter - mark your calendars and spread the word!

TWO Market Days Left....

Leaves are starting to tumble to the ground, the air is cooling and fall is announcing its arrival...

The farmers are bringing beautiful local produce to the Heights Farm Market. Take advantage of the local quality and stop by on Wednesday! The weather is going to be incredible. Extend your labor day weekend and enjoy an evening in the market square on September 8th from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. If you've been considering buying local gifts from our local artisans for the holidays, don't delay - there are only TWO more market days left in the 2010 season - can you believe it?!

Time flies when you're having fun!

As I write this blog post, it is hard to believe there are only THREE (3) market days left in the season. Where did the time go? The Heights Farm Market's last official market day of 2010 will be Wednesday, September 15th.

We're already planning for 2011!

The team at the Heights Farm Market is looking at putting together an indoor holiday market - perhaps in November - to showcase winter vegetables and specialty gifting items. Stay tuned to this blog and/or our Facebook page for the details and location as they develop.

One Important Note: The farmers and small business vendors at the Heights Farm Market appreciate you and your business. The time to stop by and visit - your dedication to purchasing local produce and local specialty items - we are here because you are here and we couldn't do it without you - THANK YOU!!
