It's harvest time at the Lexington Farmers Market

The Lexington Farmers Market is back at the Depot for a celebration of the harvest. This special market is full of incredible vendors, farmers, bakers, artisans and more. In fact, it is the biggest market this year.

This is the perfect place to do your grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. Buy your farm fresh eggs, milk and local honey for baking. Your pasture-raised meat for roasting, your fresh greens, breads and produce for sides and your cheeses for toppings. Do not forget to pick up something sweet for dessert. There is also a great selection herbal teas and coffee for sipping while you work and host.

Also keep an eye out for samples of appetizer ideas for the holidays, featuring cheese and jam pairings from SandyCreek Farm, Crossings, Rabble & Rise, Sunflower Hill Farm and more.

In addition, do your Christmas shopping with our incredible artisans. Nothing is as personal, unique and high-quality as a locally made gift. For the foodies in your life, assemble "Taste of Home" gift baskets full of market goodies. Bring your totes and shopping lists if you have them.
