The Vance County Regional Farmers Market will host its annual Handcrafted Holiday Market on Saturday, Nov. 19, and shoppers can get a jump on the gift-giving season. The holiday market hours are from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
Market Manager Pat Ayscue said this week’s frost gives a sweet flavor to those hardy leafy greens that are bound to be plentiful at the regular Saturday market – “stop by and put a smile on a local farmer’s face,” Ayscue said.
The market is open from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays.
Producers and vendors are pulling out all the stops for the Nov. 19 market, which will feature fresh seasonal produce and locally raised beef, pork and chicken.
Additional items include local honey, as well as a variety of handcrafted items such as soaps, candles, quilts, glassware, woodcrafts, artwork, wreaths and jewelry.
“Mark your calendar for this special day and we look forward to seeing you there,” Ayscue said.
