Churches' Center for Land and People (CCLP) sponsors indoor Winter Farmers Markets & Meals for Hope to provide small, local farm producers with additional venues to extend their income beyond the growing season. Held in parish halls of congregations of many denominations, these markets are open to the public and from November to March offer consumers an opportunity to purchase cheese, meat and poultry, soap, syrup, honey, wool, yogurt, raw fibers, vinegars, dried fruits, milled flours, sauces and salsas, preserves, cider, and FRESH PRODUCE as available.....in short, anything that a farm grows or produces from what they grow. (Not all items listed will be available at every market.) Most locations will simultaneously host a brunch, cafe, or other meal with items made from seasonal and local ingredients from the participating farm vendors, such as eggs, meats, cheese, flour, etc.
