Local Gifts for Dads, Grads, Brides and Teachers at the Farmers Market
Vermont made GIFTS! With all of the Graduations, Father’s Day, Recitals and Weddings coming up, why not plan on finding gifts for those special events at the market? How about giving a beautiful wooden bowl or spoon, bird house, a basket of soaps and lotions, a box of maple treats, knitted items and yarn, jewelry or stone carvings, perennial flower plants with a promise to plant them or a basket of food items like honey, syrup, maple candy and wine - let our vendors help you give a gift created by the person you buy it from. Find out the story behind that item and share it with the recipient, it will make your gift mean all that much more.
Don't forget teachers, coaches and mentors. Plants for their gardens, candy, honey, wine... The JFM office will also have GIFT CERTIFICATES! You can use your bank debit card to purchase gift certificates that can be exchanged for $5 wooden Jericho Farmers Market tokens that can be used like cash at ANY vendor at our market. Or you can buy the tokens themselves and give them to folks as "tokens" of your appreciation.
PLANTS make a great gift - Nama Farm, The Farm at VYCC, Ash Grove Farm and Sunflower Soaps all have some plants for sale.
