Happy holidays and a healthy, happy, green new year from the Brighton Farmers’ Market.  This Tuesday is the final day for our Winter Market; come join us to celebrate a great year of delicious local food.   The farmers and vendors will bring great products for a holiday feast or for tasty gifts for your food-loving friends and family.  The farmers still have sweet carrots, fresh spinach, salad greens, herbs, kale, chard, garlic, shallots, winter squash, potatoes, apples, celeriac, eggs, meat, and dairy.  Also available will be the market’s popular pastas, baked goods, chocolates, jams, honey, coffee, baking mixes, and herbal products.  Keith Myers of Flour City Bakers joins the market this week with his wonderful breads that were so popular at the summer market.  Bob White will return with more musical holiday cheer.

Thanks to all who supported the Brighton Farmers’ Market in 2009.  Like most good things, farmers’ markets are built on relationships.  Thanks to the farmers, vendors, and community members who have nurtured the important relationships forged at the Brighton Farmers’ Market, thereby helping build a much healthier, more sustainable local food supply.
