- Thanksgiving Food Drive at the Farmer’s Market to benefit the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle.
Start your holiday shopping at the Fall Craft Festival at the Western Wake Farmers’ Market on Sat., Nov. 7 from 9:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. at Carpenter Village Marketplace, 1226 Morrisville Carpenter Rd. in Cary. Shoppers are encouraged to bring canned goods and other non-perishable food items for the market’s Thanksgiving Food Drive. All donations will go to the Inter-Faith Food Shuttle, which has seen a great increase in need for assistance this year.More than 40 local artists and crafters from our community will showcase and sell their handcrafted works, including pottery, jewelry, ornaments, cards, oil paintings, prints, photography, baby and kids’ gifts, baskets and more.
Jewelry maker Sarah Parker Heermann of Silverkiln Studio, uses pure silver, bronze and copper for her unique designs. Heermann, who will be equipped to take fingerprints on Saturday to make custom jewelry, strives to make eco-friendly jewelry. Shari Fowler of Iberian Inspirations makes organic body polishes and lotions, and Ben Tuorto of Vesta Fiery Gourmet Toppings will sell his fresh, natural, chile-based topping. Tuorto uses a variety of chili peppers from his own garden and local farmers as the base for these gourmet toppings. These are just a few of the types of products that will be featured at the Fall Craft Festival.
An ATM will be available at the market, and all the usual farmers’ market vendors will be there too.Get a hot coffee and a sweet treat from our vendors, and enjoy the shopping!
