This is the greatest farmers market around!! Every week there’s a theme to keep things lively. The person behind the scenes running it all is Kristy Benson and she’s a dynamo!! She finds endless ways to keep the community engaged and keep the vendors coming in. The place is always packed with staple and Popup vendors as well as a steady flow of customers! There’s even breakfast there with products provided by the local farms (eggs, bacon, sausage, produce, dairy, etc) so it’s really become a weekend destination!! Kudos to Kristy and her team of dedicated volunteers for taking our already good farmers market up a few hundred more notches and making it dynamite!!!
Going strong again with a few interim years of change– the market was conceptualized and brought to life— by dedicated friends in the summer of 2008. The result that year was a one day (September 12th, a warmish, wet Friday afternoon)market held on our town green. It was a success, and was brought back the following year. A change of management finally, in 2020– yes, even during covid! —proved that our town WANTED this wonderful market to continue. At the crossroads in the center of Higganum, it provides an oasis of fresh foods, sprinkled with artists and crafts people, civic groups and music. It is a place where we can also show up to say hello to our neighbors, while getting to know—most importantly— our local farmers. I am very proud to have been one of the founding members thirteen summers ago. If the long, line of visitors every week is a testimony, we built it and they came, and are still coming by the hundreds now each week.At the center of the Higganum Universe–here’s to a long life for–the Higganum Village Farmers’ Market!
