We’re Harvesting the Holidays at the
Memphis Farmers Market Pavilion
Saturday December 5th, 10 to 3
For one day only, the Memphis Farmers Market will open for business with seasonal produce, holiday baked goods, arts & crafts, and other locally produced stocking stuffers.
Now you don’t have to wait until next April for the Memphis Farmers Market to open! 40+ MFM vendors will be at the Central Station Pavilion with fresh winter produce, holiday baked goods, arts and crafts, and other locally produced stocking stuffers. Pick up a copy of the new MFM cookbook and other market merchandise. And don’t miss the market cafe for warm and delicious treats while you shop.
Activities
11am – 1pm Pictures with Farmer Santa
10am – 3pm L’Ecole Culinare will be on hand all day with gingerbread houses
10am-3pm Market favorite Hooper Troopers will be hooping it up all day
Special Holiday Products
Tis the season… and here is your opportunity to wrap up your holiday gift list.  Over 40 of your favorite MFM vendors will be on hand for you to shop from a wide variety of gift ideas like handmade pottery, Re-Hy Bottles, backyard birdhouses, handcrafted wooden bowls and salad hands, soothing herbal and goat milk soaps, amazing alpaca fiber products and ultra cool steel art.
You will find cool weather crops; mustard greens, turnip greens, arugula, spinach, kale, lettuces, mesclun mix, radishes, turnips, carrots, sweet potatoes, shiitake mushrooms and Jerusalem artichokes or sunchokes (tubers that resemble water chestnuts and can be used in salads and stir fries).
Local meat producers will be out in full force so this is a great time to stock up for the long cold winter or buy grilling gifts for the “hard to shop for” dads out there.  It’s convenient to have a nice roast, stew meat or even a steak from Neola Farms or Donnell Century Farm in your freezer.  Grab some bacon, sausage or chops from Barnes Farm or Newman Farm.  West Wind will be there also with a wide assortment of organic meats…stock up!
If you haven’t already done so, gather your winter staples.  Local honey from Peace Bee Farms or the Hughes Apiary is a real sweet treat.  How many pecans do you use at Christmas time?  Lots!  This year get them from Delta Pecan.
Look for fresh baked breads to serve with locally made jams and jellies.
Think about December and how busy the evenings can get…  No Time 2 Cook and Otty’s will have frozen entrees and sides ready to heat and eat…nice gift idea, too. 20/20 Diner will have freshly made soups and sides, great for those chilly nights that you just want to curl up in a blanket and not cook.  Top a meal off with a sweet delight from Big Ono Bake Shop or Mary’s Kitchen and you are set…
Don’t miss locally roasted McCarter Coffee, yet another great gift idea and nice to just have all the time.
