One more day!

🎄✨ Artisan Christmas Market at Heritage Farm — THIS WEEKEND! ✨🎄
Saturday–Sunday, November 8–9, near Kokomo, IN

Step into the season the old-fashioned way—warm smiles, handmade goods, and the soft hum of Christmas tunes drifting across the farm. Bring the family, grab a cocoa, and say hello to the alpacas (they’ve been practicing their “nice list” faces).

Here’s what’s waiting for you:
• 30+ local makers & artisan gifts 🎁
• Live music & cozy campfire vibes 🔥
• Food trucks & sweet treats 🍩
• Farm store stocked with ultra-warm alpaca wear 🧣
• Photo ops with the barn & the herd 📸

Make it a tradition: invite a friend, bundle up, and spend an hour—or the whole afternoon—soaking up small-town Christmas charm.

👉 Tap Going, share this post, and we’ll see you Nov 8–9 at Heritage Farm!
