(Atlantic, Iowa) – Produce in the Park’s annual Harvest Market is being held at the Cass County Community Center (805 W. 10th Street, Atlantic, IA 50022) on Monday, November 25th, from 3-until 6-pm. The annual fall farmers market is held just days before Thanksgiving so shoppers can fill their Thanksgiving tables with local foods and decorate their homes for the holidays with local and handmade products.

Produce in the Park Board President Bailey Smith says, “While it’s common to see lots of squash and other fall vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions at Harvest Market, Produce in the Park is proud to have multiple vendors offering fresh greens and Bridgewater Farm selling tomatoes at this year’s market.” In addition to local produce, Harvest Market food vendors will be selling a variety of desserts, pastries, baked goods, meats, herbs, honey, jams, jellies, syrups, popcorn, and more.

Harvest Market offers an opportunity to purchase local and handmade holiday decor and gifts. Shoppers can expect to find evergreen decorations, candles, soaps, crocheted toys, earrings, artwork, lavender products, wood crafts, seasonal hand towels, and more. This year’s market includes a soup supper. Imagine Gifts and Greenhouse will be selling Chicken Noodle, Vegetable Beef, and Loaded Baked Potato soups for dine-in or carry-out.
