Holiday Pop-Up & Vendor Market at Beard Farms
- Special Events
It’s never too early to start thinking about the holidays, and the Holiday Pop-Up & Vendor Market at Beard Farms is giving families a chance to get a head start on their shopping while enjoying a little farm fun along the way.
Forget the crowded stores and the same old shopping experience. This is a chance to shop local, discover something unique, meet local vendors and enjoy a relaxed fall day at Beard Farms.
Whether you’re looking for a special Christmas gift, something handmade, a little holiday décor for your home—or simply an excuse to get out with the family—you’ll find plenty to explore.
The market will feature a variety of local vendors offering handmade items, unique gifts and delicious goodies as well as pony rides and visiting farm animals.
You can enjoy:
Handmade gifts and holiday décor
Jewelry
Pottery
Homemade jams
Boiled peanuts
Local honey
Candles, soaps and more
Bakery goods
Burgers and Hotdogs
Other unique goodies
And that’s just the beginning!
With local vendors bringing their own special creations and products, you never know what you’ll find. That’s part of the fun of a pop-up market—you might come looking for one thing and leave with something you never expected to discover.
It’s also a great opportunity to find gifts that have a little more personality and meaning than something pulled from a store shelf.
Here’s where our Holiday Pop-Up & Vendor Market gets even better.
Bring the kids!
While you’re browsing the vendors and checking things off your holiday shopping list, the kids can experience a little farm life of their own.
Beard Farms is home to some special animals, including:
Miniature goats
Miniature donkeys
A miniature cow
A Highland cow
For children, getting to see these animals up close can be just as exciting as finding something new at the market.
So while you’re shopping, the kids can enjoy the farm—and everyone gets to be part of the experience.
This Holiday Pop-Up & Vendor Market isn’t meant to be a quick stop where you rush in, make a purchase and leave.
Make a day of it.
Take your time walking through the market. Talk with the vendors. Discover handmade treasures. Pick up some homemade jams or local honey. Grab some bakery goodies or something from the food vendor. Look for that perfect holiday gift.
Then take a little time to enjoy the farm.
Bring your camera, bring the kids and bring your friends.
You may even discover that the best part of the day wasn’t what you bought—it was the time you spent together.
One of the best things about a local vendor market is knowing where your purchases are coming from.
When you shop with a local maker or small business, you’re helping support someone who has invested their time, creativity and hard work into what they’re offering.
Your holiday shopping can make a difference right here in our community.
Instead of simply buying another item, you can discover something handmade, meet the person who created it and support a local business at the same time.
That’s something worth celebrating.
Whether you’re shopping for your spouse, children, parents, grandparents, friends, neighbors, teachers—or maybe just looking for something special for yourself—there will be plenty of possibilities.
You might find a beautiful piece of jewelry.
A handmade piece of pottery.
A jar of homemade jam.
Local honey from hives on the farm.
Holiday décor.
Something delicious from the bakery.
Or one of those unexpected treasures that simply makes you say, “I have to have that!”
And if you don’t find everything on your list, that’s okay.
There will be plenty of reasons to come back and enjoy the experience.
