Fill Your Winter Basket with Local Art, Food and Cheer
Early on a Saturday morning you will find our local artisans and farmers setting up their temporary store fronts in downtown Duncan for the Duncan Farmers Market. This local gem of a market runs 50 weeks of the year.
Are you looking for that special something for your loved ones this season? You will be able to find beautifully crafted items that are unique, as well as locally made. As this market is a make it, bake it, grow it event, each vendor is directly involved in creating the items you will find in their respective booths. You can find a wide variety of talented vendors to offer you the perfect gifts for your loved ones this season. There are soaps to pamper, leather belts and purses of top-notch quality, beautiful handmade wooden bowls, birdhouses, jewelry, flutes, metal sculptures, clothing and so much more. There is never a bad time for a little bit of holiday cheer! You will find locally made wine, spirits and nonalcoholic beverages that are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Why spend hours in the kitchen baking holiday treats when our bakers do it so well? Serve them up on your own dishes and we will
never tell! Our vendors offer everything from cookies and tarts to candies and cakes and everything in between. Don’t forget to pick up a locally grown roasting chicken or roast of pork for your dinner table along with an array of vegetables including carrots, potatoes, squash, cabbage, garlic and salad greens. There’s salmon and scallops available too and vendors offering everything for your charcuterie board from cured meats and pates to cheese, spreads and dips to top it off!
We are also proud to be able to offer live music this year all the way through fall up to our Christmas market. This enhances the overall feel of our market for our customers and vendors alike.
Last year our artisans were not able to be part of any markets in December due to the pandemic and were shut out for a total of 7 months. Coming out and supporting local during the holiday season will allow you to purchase truly exceptional gifts as well as showing our market how much it means to the community.
The Duncan Farmers Market runs from 10:00am – 2:00pm up until Decenber 18th. We will be taking a two week break and will open back up on January 8, 2022 for our Winter and Spring market season.
Happy Holidays from all of us at the Duncan Farmers Market.
