Head to the Lawrence Farmers’ Market while you can — only two Saturday markets remain

Saturday morning is set to be sunny, clear and crisp and just perfect for hitting up the Lawrence Farmers’ Market. Good thing too, because after this Saturday there will be only one more outdoor market — Nov. 19.

So, if you want sweet potatoes, squash, honey and other goods get them now while the getting’s easy. The market is open from 8 a.m. to noon in the parking lot in the 800 block of New Hampshire. You can find local seasonal goods at grocery stores around town, but there’s nothing quite like buying it straight from the farmer. Plus, the farmer earns a better wage selling straight to you, so it’s a great bonus for them if you buy as a direct customer.

Then, a few weeks after the outdoor market season ends, there will be one final chance to see some of the vendors before next spring — the group’s Holiday Market will be from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Dec. 10 at The Holiday Inn, 200 McDonald Drive. The Holiday Market will feature crafts, foods, plants, textiles and other wares.

Also, it’s not too late to become a “Friend of the Market” — for $10, you not only get the satisfaction of supporting the market, but also $2.00 in market tokens, a reusable shopping bag, a discount on some of the market merchandise plus a Farmers’ Market decal and fridge magnet.
