January at the Yardley Farmers’ Market: A Fresh Start for the New Year

January often arrives with a lot of pressure, new goals, big resolutions, and a feeling that everything needs to change at once. At the Yardley Farmers’ Market, we like to think of the New Year a little differently. Instead of an overhaul, January is a chance for a fresh start - grounded in simple routines, nourishing food, and reconnecting with what supports you best.

And even in the heart of winter, our market continues to be a place where that reset can begin.

Fresh Food Still Grows in Winter

While the growing season looks different in January, it’s far from empty. Our farmers and

food makers continue to bring seasonal produce, fresh eggs, mushrooms, microgreens,

hearty breads, baked goods, and thoughtfully prepared foods, proof that eating locally

doesn’t stop when the temperatures drop. Winter is a wonderful time to lean into storage vegetables, mushrooms, whole grains, and comforting meals made with intention. These foods support energy, warmth, and nourishment during a season that naturally invites us to slow down.

Small Habits, Big Impact

A fresh start doesn’t have to mean perfection. Sometimes it’s as simple as:

• Cooking one more meal at home each week

• Starting the morning with a warm cup of coffee from a local roaster

• Adding microgreens or mushrooms to meals for an easy nutrient boost

• Choosing locally made foods that support both your health and your community

These small shifts are often the ones that stick.

Support Local, Start Local

Every purchase at the Farmers’ Market supports local farmers, bakers, and

makers who are deeply invested in their craft and this community. Shopping the market

in January is a powerful way to begin the year, keeping dollars local while feeding yourself and your family with care.

A Place to Reset

January doesn’t have to be rushed or restrictive. It can be steady, nourishing, and rooted in connection. Whether you’re stocking your pantry, planning comforting winter meals, or enjoying a familiar routine, the market is here to support you through the season.

We look forward to welcoming you at the Yardley Farmers’ Market Indoor Winter

Market, held the 1st and 3rd Saturdays at the Lower Makefield Township Community

Center, from 9:30 am–12:00 pm.

Here’s to a New Year, and a fresh start, the local way.
