*List subject to change
This list only states what we know we’re bringing for sure (we say “for sure” with the assumption that nothing crazy will happen, like the end of the world as we know it! Did you sing that, too? I did. 🤪) Guess what, guys! We actually know that these are all the pie flavors we’re bringing! It’s the kind of miracle that only happens for the last farmers market of the season. If you have any specific requests, call us! Our number is on our ‘Contact’ page.
Benefits of the late season
During this time of year, it seems like everyone starts thinking there’s nothing to do at farmers markets anymore. This is totally not the truth for the Clear Lake Farmers Market! This is the time when the market feels cozy and personal, and the vendors have all their fall favorites available now. The farmers? They’re bringing things like decorative corn stalks and butternut squash. The bakers? You know we’re not letting down the Pumpkin Spice lovers: hello pumpkin spice bread. Even the artists are fulfilling your crunchy leaf cravings.
Last chance to get your farmers market faves
As one of our farmers market friends dedicated to reading through the list of items we plan to bring every week (you’re amazing!), then you saw that this week’s list has Zesty Zucchini Relish added to it. This is the condiment you never knew you needed, but will absolutely loveee! This fresh batch of relish has a kick, and it is amazing on burgers/brats/paninis. Honestly, I could through some on a plate of buttery noodles and be happy! So. Much. Deliciousness. 😁
Easy accessibility
October is a dream come true for folks who get overstimulated easily! By this point of the year, basically every last vacationer has gone home and left Clear Lake. This is ideal when you don’t feel like being crowded by loads of people. Now, especially since it’s the last farmers market, you don’t have to wade through thick crowds to see what each booth has to offer -everything is easily accessible and available. The market is so chill and relaxing -this only happens during this time of year (#FallVibes)- we hope you’ll take advantage of it! 😊
Check out the last farmers market this year!
October is such a special time, and this is your last chance to see us at markets this year. We hope you’ll stop by the Clear Lake Farmers Market this Saturday. We’ll be in the Surf Ballroom parking lot from 9 AM until noon. The Clear Lake Farmers Market is one of the only farmers markets still running in North Iowa during October, and it’s worth a visit. Set up a reminder, and we’ll see you there!
