| CUESA's Farmers Market Winter Holiday Guide |
This holiday season, give the gift of good food while supporting local farmers and food crafters. At CUESAās farmers markets, youāll find the makings for wholesome winter feasts, along with unique gifts that nourish the body, the earth, and our local community.
Weāve gathered some ideas for delicious and distinctive stocking stuffers and host gifts, as well as fixings for creating a sustainably sourced goodie basket. These are gifts with real people and stories behind them. At the farmers market, you can meet the makers, learn about their crafts, and know that youāre helping family farmers and small food businesses thrive. Weāve also included online ordering options when available.
As the days turn cold and rainy, farmers market vendors count on loyal customers like you to help sustain their businesses year-round. In this time of gratitude, we thank you for supporting CUESA and our market community throughout the year. |
