Bittersweet Farms offers pop-up holiday shopping event

Bittersweet Farms is offering local residents a chance to shop local, give with purpose, and positively impact lives this holiday season.

Bittersweet Farms will hold “Market & Merry,” a pop-up holiday shopping event on Saturday, Dec. 11, from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., and on Thursday, Dec. 16, from 5 – 8 p.m., at the Market at Bittersweet Gardens (located at Bittersweet Farms, 12660 Archbold-Whitehouse Road, Whitehouse). This is the first time the event will be open to in-person shoppers.

The full line of Bittersweet products – art, cookies, produce, and merchandise – will be available for sale exclusively at this event. Each item is hand crafted by Bittersweet participants, and every purchase supports their meaningful paid employment and Bittersweet’s mission. There will be no online sales –  in-person shopping only, while supplies last.

On Saturday, Dec. 11 only, in addition to holiday shopping, “Market & Merry” will feature festive outdoor activities, including a bonfire, hot cocoa while supplies last, and guided tours of the Bittersweet Barn. Tours will leave the Market building at 10 a.m. and noon and are offered on a first come, first served basis with limited capacity.
