The popular Craft Fair will return to the Wake Forest Farmers Market Saturday, April 23, and shoppers will find bird houses that are functional, beautiful and whimsical; wood crafts such as kitchen utensils and cutting boards; fine art; fun yard décor; handpainted scarves; fine jewelry; fun accessories; eco-friendly bath and body products; handmade quilts; and hand-woven baskets. There will also be live music, face painting for the children.
At the same time, local farmers and bakers will be ready to sell those early spring strawberries, lots of early greens, potatoes, bedding plants, fresh-cut flowers, local honey, coffee roasted just up the street, baked goods of all kinds, jams, meats, and chocolate.
The market is open from 8 a.m. to noon in the Renaissance Plaza on Brooks Street. All the vendors come from with 75 miles of Wake Forest raising crops and animals, baking goods using natural, sustainable methods. The market itself is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the public about the value of local farms and the importance of local food systems.
You can find the market on Facebook or at www.wakeforestfarmersmarket.org with a list of vendors and lots of charming pictures.
