Holiday Market
And Bye For Now!

The Walpole Farmers Market (WFM) is holding a special holiday market on Saturday, December 13, from 10 am to 1 pm in the Walpole Town Hall. This market will celebrate both the December holidays and a much needed sabbatical for the WFM.

There will be a great line-up of vendors at the Holiday Market, including the return of our fiber vendors. Sanctuary’s Alpaca Farm offers items woven, knitted, and felted by Jamie Page from the fiber of her own alpaca; Old Kemp Farm offers needle felted animals that make great tree ornaments and felted soaps that make great gifts; and Wake Robin Ornaments has great gifts as well – birch bark & straw ornaments, preserves, and birch bark baskets.

A number of vendors will help you stock up for your holiday meals. Brookfield Farm will be there with certified organic and pastured animal products; Twin Spruce Farm with all the McGill’s sweet maple treats; Orchard Hill bread with special holiday treats as well as their delicious breads; Sawyer’s Cheese with a variety of local cheeses; Penni’s Pantry with jams and relishes; Walpole Mountain View Winery with Walpole’s own local wine; Vermont Cannoli with authentic Italian treats; Schoolhouse Gardens with organic rocamblole garlic.

Iris X Herbals will offer wildcrafted herbal products to keep you healthy through the winter. Pleasant Street Soap will have handmade goat milk soaps, and 221 Bath and Body will offer bath salts and other body products. Susan Leader will be retuning with her popular handcrafted pottery line of functional tableware and accent pieces.

The WFM will be taking a break after this market. We in Walpole are lucky to have more farms than any other town in New Hampshire, and quite a few other outlets for the area’s great local products as well. The WFM has helped connect you shoppers directly to your farmers and other vendors. You know how to source your favorite products without having to squeeze your shopping into the WFM’s 2 hour window.

While this is really good news, the WFM will be sad to say bye-for-now to the community event aspect of the weekly market, and we invite everyone, shoppers and vendors, to come to the holiday market and wish each other bye-for-now.

The WFM website will be available during this hiatus, and contact information for vendors is available there.
