Dec. 11, 2021 Holiday Farmers Market

This Saturday, Dec. 11, is the second to last market of 2021. Have no fear, the Market at Ix will be back Jan. 8, but if you need gifts, and supplies for the next few weeks, take advantage of the market this week.

New and/or returning this week:

  • Tonoloway Forest Farm, bringing Maple, Walnut and Hickory syrup from Highland County. Dec. 11 is the only time they will attend FM@Ix 2021, but will return in 2022 after harvesting trees in late winter.

  • Pear, cookie and baked goods specialist, returns after a summer and fall hiatus.

  • New jeweler, Wilder Woven;

  • Tui Teas returning from holiday season 2020

  • Crochetaquatic, Common Health Botanicals, and Boxwood Wreaths by Barbara Fleming return for the season.

We were so fortunate to have Ballerino Creamery bring their delicious local cheese from Staunton for the last few weeks. They have ended their 2021 market season but look forward to their return Jan. 15.
