To all advocates of “buying local”: Saturday, November 2, is the first day to shop at the Blazing Star Grange Winter Farmers Market and stock up on everything you might need for the holidays.

If you arrive at 9 AM when the doors open, we will have a delicious breakfast of sausage, egg, and cheese on a grilled English muffin waiting for you, served with a nice hot cup of delicious coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or cold juice.

Once you have had breakfast, you will be ready to peruse two floors of homegrown and hand-fashioned items offered by 18 different vendors. Meat, eggs, honey, baked goods, produce, jams, jellies, and relishes are available along with a variety of jewelry, stained glass, gifts, handcrafted needlework items, and designer clothing made from reprocessed sweaters and wool.

If you arrive later in the day, we will be serving a hot lunch of homemade soup or casserole. Hot dogs are always available with juice or a hot drink.

This is our first market of the season, so be sure to come and support your local farmers and craftspeople. Sustainability is what your local Grange is all about.
