Pro Tips for Farmers Markets
- Come early! Our hottest and newest blends can sell out fast, so get to the farmers market before the crowd.
- Bring cash. You never know when tech will fail, and many vendors appreciate it!
- Always stop and try our samples. We rotate them regularly to keep things fresh-you might discover a new favourite.
- Bring your own shopping bags. Help reduce waste and make carrying your farmers market goodies easier.
- Order ahead online for pickup at any farmers market, Especially if you want custom blends and larger sizes. We only bring these on request, so pre-ordering ensures you get exactly what you want.
- Stop by and say hi! We love seeing familiar faces and meeting new friends.
- When the booth is quiet, share your latest culinary creations with our spices. We’re proud of what you create and love to brag about your delicious dishes!
- Share your farmers market haul and experience on social media (if that’s your thing!). Vendors LOVE seeing what you enjoyed-it helps spread the word and creates great content for everyone.
- Try something new for a “New Flavours Night.” Pick up something you haven’t tried before and get inspired in the kitchen. Farmers markets are perfect for this!
- Follow us on Instagram @FromLexsPantry for last-minute pop-ups, weather updates, and new event announcements. Our weekly #TuesdayUpdateWithLex on IG gives you a roundup of the markets we’ll be at that week.
