Locavores with gift-list issues will want to head downtown to the Memphis Farmers Market’s “Harvesting the Holidays” event — a combo farmers market/holiday sale/groundbreaking — on Saturday. Hydroponic tomatoes, greens, lettuces, sweet potatoes, and more will be available, and prepared items will include goat cheese, jams and jellies, pecans, and cookies. There also will be crafts and the Memphis Farmers Market Cookbook on sale. And at 11 a.m., it’s the groundbreaking for the market’s pavilion expansion. The project is expected to be completed in time for the spring season.
