All proceeds from the tree sales benefit the Farmers Market.  You can pre-order your tree at the On-line Market by going to the website, www.independencefarmersmarket.org and clicking the “On-line market” tab.

Join us again on December 5, activities include the 1st annual Chili Cookoff.  Enter your best chili in the competition and win $50!  Please bring your entry in a crockpot to the Market by 11 am. It’s free to enter and only $5 to buy a ticket to taste all the entries and cast your vote.  It is a great way to stay warm while you wait to see the Independence Christmas Parade.
