Farm and artisan vendors showcase their goods at the Holiday Farmers Market at the White Clover Grange of Nehalem.

NEHALEM — Every year, the warm chatter of conversations fills the grange hall among tables decked out in all manner of winter vegetables and handmade wares from local farmers and artisans.

That tradition continues with a Holiday Market hosted by the Manzanita Farmers Market and the White Clover Grange of Nehalem 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2. A hot lunch will be served 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

An enticing array of goods can be found this year at the Holiday Market: raw chocolate truffles, peach jam, fresh apple cider, quilt raffles, handmade journals and more. About 20 vendors cozy up table-to-table in the main hall of the grange. Weave through the hall to find creamed honey, lampwork beaded jewelry, botanical lotion bars, a magical spinal stress-relief session, and a bottle of raspberry wine.

From the local vegetable farms you can expect crisp carrots and fresh greens, which have grown sweeter in the fields with the autumn chill. If you don’t win the leg of lamb raffled by the White Clover Grange, you can pick up your own choice cuts of beef, pork and lamb directly from Lance’s Farm Vittles.

Drop a donation in the jar at Annie’s Coffee Corner for a cookie and a hot drink to tide you over, and sooner or later the savory smells from the luncheon in the downstairs dining hall will convince you it’s lunchtime. The White Clover Grange will be offering their traditional Reuben sandwiches with handmade sauerkraut, vegetarian chili and sides of fresh cornbread and pie.

Manzanita Farmers Market SNAP tokens, Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB) and Rinehart Clinic Vouchers can be used at eligible food and farm vendors at the Holiday Market, increasing the buying power of low-income individuals.

The White Clover Grange is located at 36585 Oregon Route 53, about two miles east of U.S. Highway 101 between Nehalem and Wheeler.
