“Thanksgiving is traditionally a time to celebrate the harvest and the blessings of the year,” said Market Manager Kirsten Bansen Weigle. “We can’t think of a better way to do that than to purchase your Thanksgiving meal items directly from the folks who have nurtured the crops, raised the animals, and crafted the breads, jams, pickles and preserves that you’ve enjoyed throughout the market season. Your guests will love these local, unique flavors.”
