The Market Square Farmers' Market Holiday Market is Saturdays, December 7, 14, and 21. Farm vendors from 12 - 3 p.m. Arts and craft vendors from 12 - 7 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public. The Market Square Farmers' Market reprises its popular Holiday Market on the three Saturdays before Christmas and invites shoppers to buy local from area farmers, artisan food vendors, artists and crafters. Although the peak growing season is over, regional farmers are offering many root crops, hearty greens, hydroponic vegetables, meat, eggs, dairy and other preserved foods - ideal for serving at festive seasonal gatherings or giving to your favorite foodie. Craft and artisan food vendors will line Market Street, creating a marketplace for handmade items perfect for satisfying recipients on shoppers' gift lists. Items include jewelry, home décor, bath and body products, hand-blown glass, pottery, turned wood and folk art. Visit the Market Square Farmers' Market information booth to purchase the market's annual letterpress poster, canvas tote bag and Market Money, which can be used with any vendor on site and even purchased for giving to friends and family as a gift certificate. 

There will be hot mulled cider and holiday treats to welcome you between 12:30 and 1:00. The class will start promptly at one. As in the past you will be asked to provide your own garden gloves to protect your hands and your own garden shears (household scissors are not usually able to cut the heavy stems). If you have any favorite evergreens or berries from your yard that you want to add to your arrangement you are welcome to bring them. All other supplies are included in the $35 charge for the workshop. For reservations, please call Ramsey House at 865-546-0745 Tuesday-Saturday from 10am-4pm.
