For the first time this year, Bloomington residents will have continuous access to food grown by local farmers. As the Bloomington Community Farmers Market season winds down, the Local Growers Guild is kicking off its annual Bloomington Winter Farmers Market, which will be open on Saturday mornings between December 4 and March 28. Please help us spread the word about the extended season! Located in Harmony School at the intersection of 2nd and Woodlawn, the market will offer fresh produce, meat, and dairy products along with prepared foods, special events, and live music.

Available produce will include salad greens, kale, squash, mushrooms, herbs, potatoes and sweet potatoes, garlic, onions, chard, carrots, spinach, apples, and more. Farmers will offer locally raised beef, pork, chicken, and turkey, along with milk, yogurt, eggs, tofu, cheese, and breads. In addition to fresh foods, shoppers can purchase frozen vegetables, relishes, local grains, fresh flowers, fair trade coffee, seeds, organic soil amendments, and potted plants. There will also be a wide range of other farm products and holiday gifts, such as dried herbs, jam, kombucha, herbed vinegars, herbal teas, soaps and salves, fiber, wool, and wreaths.
