 Christmas is right around the corner, and that means everyone is shopping. Some shoppers are choosing to support local small businesses this holiday season. On December 7th, Downtown Lee’s Summit hosted its annual Lee’s Summit Farmers Market Holiday Mart. This Holiday Market featured a variety of small business vendors, selling everything from baked goods to lavender products. 

   One of the vendors present was Rock the House Bakery. Located in Peculiar, Missouri, the bakery sells a variety of breads, cinnamon rolls, and other delicious baked goods. Rock the House Bakery goods can be found at farmers’ markets across Kansas City. 

   Another vendor at the Holiday Mart was Shelti Farms. Located right outside of Kansas City, Shelti Farms focuses on lavender products. They have a variety of lavender soaps, candles, and even skincare products. You can find Shelti Products available on their website, sheltifarms.com, and at the Lee’s Summit Farmers Market. 

   Another fun aspect of the Holiday Mart was that the first 100 people to show up received a free 2024 Holiday Mart edition insulated tote bag.
