Holiday Gifting Gets Local With LEAF's Holiday Farmers Market

Tuesday, December 18th marks the second LEAF (Lakewood Earth And Food) Community Holiday Market this holiday season and the final farmer's market put on by LEAF in 2018. Conveniently located right here in Lakewood, at Garfield Middle School (13114 Detroit Ave.), the weekday-evening market runs from 5:30 to 8 p.m. From market City Fresh CSA Holiday Shares, to other locally grown and produced foods, to a wide array of gift giving arts and craft options from local makers, the Holiday Market is a locavore's dream.

If you get peckish while you shop, be sure to check out the LEAF Community table with a soup and bread and hot drink bar.
