The year is winding down! The weather is getting colder, holidays are approaching, and we’re preparing ourselves for what awaits us in 2024. Although the temperature has dropped significantly, the Lexington Holiday Farmers Market is in full swing! With local goods and delights such as farm fresh vegetables, meats, baked goods, eggs, jams, and crafts, all hand-made and curated by participating vendors, there is an abundance of quality goods to choose from! The market is set to take place on December 2nd from 9 am until 2 pm at the Depot District, 29 S. Railroad Street.
Even though we’re well past the time for harvest, that has not deterred the Farmer’s Market vendors from providing quality goods for all! One such vendor is Silwood Soaps! Silwood Soaps is a local business that specializes in crafting high-quality soap products with all-natural ingredients that have a soothing effect and a lovely aroma.

With the upcoming holidays, the question of “What to gift” comes to the forefront of many people’s minds. Luckily for those many people, Rierson Farm, a vendor for the Holiday Market, provides just the answer! Even though it is a farm, they offer many goods outside of food products and goods during the off-season of harvest. They offer a variety of artisanal goods, such as self-care products such as goat milk soaps and body butters, home goods items such as beeswax candles and melts, hand-painted original illustrations on a variety of canvases, and delightful crocheted hats with charming designs.
