3 REASONS TO CHECK OUT THE FARMERS & CRAFTS MARKET OF LAS CRUCES

|

It’s been an eventful couple of years, to say the least. Many of us adapted to the new normal of staying home and ordering most of what we desire online. However, as life ever so slowly returns to normal, there’s no better time to head out to the Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces and see what you’ve been missing. Sure, you can probably get everything you need with a click of a button, but here are three reasons why you should make a trip to the market in person. 

#1: Fresher Is Better

Yep, you can order your groceries from the grocery store down the street. But how many times have you bought a bag of lettuce that starts to go bad in just a few days? That’s because of all the traveling those greens had to do to get from the farm, to the processing and distribution center, and then from there to the store. Meanwhile, the produce you get at Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces is locally grown and sold by the growers themselves. So not only are you supporting local farmers, you get ultra-fresh produce (much of it organic) that tastes fantastic and lasts much longer. 

#2: One-of-a-Kind Gifts

Yes again, when it comes to gift giving we’ve all found ourselves in front of a computer screen scrolling for the perfect present. And while we all appreciate the sentiment, what better way to show someone how much they mean to you than by getting them something that’s both thoughtful and unique. Pick up a handmade wine rack or decorative serving tray at Fine and Fun Wood Products. Grab some all natural handmade soaps at Canyon Lake Artisan Crafts. Or book a henna session for the henna body art enthusiast in your life at PB Henna. With more than 200 vendors, the choices for the perfect gift are practically endless. 

#3 More Than Just a Market

There’s more to explore beyond the foods and crafts of the Las Cruces market. In addition to the arts, crafts, and groceries, are vendors whipping up everything from freshly made kettle corn to mouth watering hamburgers. The market’s location spanning seven blocks of Main Street provides plenty of seating to enjoy your meals. Plus, there are bands and other entertainment that add to the fun-filled, festival vibe. 

So the next time you require some retail therapy or daily essentials, get up, get out, and enjoy one of the area’s best community spaces at Farmers & Crafts Market of Las Cruces. The larger Saturday Market on Main Street, and the smaller Wednesday Market at Plaza de Las Cruces, are both open from 8:30 AM to 1 PM.
