Come shop the last Hayden Market of the season, Customers!

This Saturday will be the final Market for Red Rooster Crafts. Owner, Jan Gilstad, is our current board President and has been a beloved Market Vendor and friend for over 25 years. They will be moving on to new adventures next year, so they are closing out their fall items at half-price this weekend. Stop by, say goodbye, and pick up something special from this special woman. We will miss you, Jan!!

This weekend, our farmers have an abundance from their final harvests during this warm weather to offer you! Make sure you get the last of the Italian Prune Plums from Killarney Farm and make the scrumptious plum pudding recipe below. Take advantage of the smaller crowds to stock up on winter produce and pick up milk, cheese, eggs, and meats from lamb to beef, bison, chicken, and pork. Grizzly Bros. Farm will have the following cuts of yummy Mangalitsa pork available:

• Pork Chops (Bone In)

The Tomato Lady will have plenty of hot, steaming mulled cider to keep you warm while you shop. She makes her own mulling spices that you can take home to mull your own cider, and this weekend she’ll also have pumpkin cream cheese rolls to enjoy with your hot cup.

Dandelion Half Acre is taking this week off to havest and process their fall herb crop, but they’ll be back next weekend for Harvest Fest downtown.

Come by booth #27 to see Gem State Mushrooms! Trade in our punch card for a free box of mushrooms with a purchase of fresh mushrooms. Gem State Mushrooms is excited to see you and share where you can find mushrooms while they end this seasons market. They have Pink Oyster, Blue Oyster and Lions Mane to offer this week.

Sandia Spice Co. is having a special for the close of the season. Gem State Mushrooms gave them a super deal, so they are passing along the savings and offering their collab Blue Oyster Mushroom seasoning for $10 (a $5 savings) this weekend. And they will have plenty on hand! It is not only delicious but can be used as a natural thickener too. Jacque will also have Honey graham crackers and pumpkin bread with cinnamon buttercream for samples of her Autumn Spice seasoning.

Rider Mushroom Co. will also be at the market this weekend with Lion’s Beard mushrooms!

Lake City Bakers will be at market rain or shine, and they’ll be keeping the cinnamon rolls warm for breakfast! They will also have fresh banana, zucchini, pumpkin, and lemon poppyseed breads ready for your freezer. The Lake City Bakers pies and many of their other goodies also freeze nicely, so stock up!

As we are finally feeling the full change of the season, consider doing a juice cleanse or boost your immune system with Lake City Juice‘s Fresh-Pressed Wellness Shots, only $37 for a six pack. Her Fall Cleanses will be $20 off this weekend too!

Reminder: Bring your market basket for your shopping or a box for your plants. Our vendors also appreciate small cash bills, especially if you are shopping early.
