Monroe Farmers' Market

10/21/2026

I always make it a point on the first and last Market days to buy something from every single vendor.

⭐Tag along on my FINAL market shopping adventure of the Season!⭐

First on the tour is to grab a hot cup of cocoa (or coffee) from Cosmic Cafe to kickstart the adventure! Then it's off to Laurel Glen Farm for greens, and two mashed potato squashes to roast and freeze.

Drop off some knives in need of sharpening at Cooks Nook, then over to 5th State for some Blackberry Bramble spirits. PURE by Shasha helps my dry skin with Peppermint Body Butter (also a great mood lifter 😍)

Pesto time: three to freeze please over at St X and swing over to Sunset Farm for some honey nut squash, and a cauliflower or two. Little Kernels calls my name with a large bag of popcorn (did you know you can freeze it??), then c***r donut holes from Oronoque—sweet treats for the hubby. Bottle of blueberry w**e over at Sunset Meadow to hold on to summer 🫐

Stocking up on ground beef at Breezy Knolls for winter taco nights! Carrot Top’s got the soup du jour on my list, and of course I'll be grabbing my favorite varieties of microgreens from Upper Grassy Greens too.

Then grabbing cold chicken dumplings and sauce from Grumpy Dumpling, plus marinated mushrooms, and mushroom 'coffee' from Union City Farm. Gazy’s is the place for my remaining squash needs and apples because homemade applesauce from Fall produce in the middle of February saves my sanity.

A dozen bagels from Olmo as they freeze like a dream. and then Cows Around the Corner is next for my cheddar fix.

4 pack of cinnamon rolls from Liquid Bliss Vegan Delights, and a Final stop over to Nick’s Catering for eggplant parm for lazy dinner night.

That’s a wrap on the grand market finale—can't wait to enjoy all the goodies! Come get yours too this week!

Pick up a mum on Friday at the Market and you’re supporting both a local farm, AND Think Pink Monroe 🌸. Thank you Laurel Glen Farm!

This week the Monroe Farmers’ Market is raising money for breast cancer survivors and warriors. There’s a TON of special events happening, including a fundraiser raffle. However, breast cancer has affected our family this year and we wanted to do something a little more. We’re bringing pink mums to the market for $10 each. 50% of these mum proceeds will go toward Think Pink Monroe at the end of the night. Come down and support those affected! Friday from 3-6 p.m. on the Monroe Town Green.

P.S. Did you know you can plant these mums at the end of the year? They’ll bloom in your yard every year and can remind you of a special person affected by breast cancer.
