Valentines Day might be marketed as a day for lovers, but that doesn’t mean we can use it as a reminder to appreciate all the great loves of our lives.

No matter your romantic relationship status, it’s still nice to take a beat and appreciate close friends, siblings, neighbors, or work wives. All the people that love and support us and help us be better.

We think that no matter who you’re looking to thank and celebrate, our markets can help you find just the right thing to make the occasion special. Whether you’re gifting something or crafting a loving meal, we will be your huckleberry.

Happy Valentines Day!

P.S. You can also bring your Valentine to the market so you can shop and snack together. We have several free classes with samples coming up too so check our calendar.

Flowers are a universal show of affection and appreciation. It’s hard not to be delighted with a big tastefully arranged bouquet. Here are some vendors that will have some early blooms and winter varieties.
