 | | Happy Holidays to all our shoppers from the vendors of the Emporia Farmers Market. |
There are two markets at the Emporia Humanitarian Center this month on Saturday, December 6 and Saturday, December 20.
We will also have market vendors in Downtown Emporia for Midnight Madness on Thursday, December 11, open 8pm to midnight at 701 Commercial.
The market is a great place to shop for holiday decorations, gift items and for food to put on your holiday table. Our winter market vendors can help you with the home baked treats, as well as the greens.
See you at the market!

The Emporia Farmers Market fulfills a central role in the community's grand equation, offering a place of fellowship throughout the year, moving produce, producer, and consumer closer to a kindred realm, bridging lives with local growth, local arts, local writers and musicians, creating rhythms of seasons and relationship so well maintained as to seem always new and continuing together.
