Granby Farmers’ Market to Host Winter Event by Amy Woodman The Granby Farmers’ Market will host its first-ever winter market indoors at the Farmington Valley YMCA on Saturday December 14. Some favorite summer vendors will be there: Sweet Wind Farm, Killam and Bassett, Barefoot Books, Beech Tree Ranch, Free Lunch Studios and Capa Di Roma. Several new vendors include: GIV Coffee, Lyric Farm, Bridget’s Breads, Maple View Farm and Vermont Art Store.
The winter market will be a great opportunity to stock up on your favorite items from local farmers. Need some last minute gift ideas? There will be plenty to choose from: jams, preserves, local maple syrup, coffee, books, soaps, and candles. There will be a wrapping table too where, for a small donation to the market, your items can be wrapped in a holiday gift basket. Come to the market on Saturday, December 14, from 9 a.m – noon at the Farmington Valley YMCA, 97 Salmon Brook Street.
