The Long Beach farmers market is a Kennedy Plaza staple from May to November. This year, instead of hibernating through the cold weather, the market will set up a temporary winter residence inside the Bright Eye Beer Co., on West Park Avenue directly across from the Plaza, beginning Jan. 17.

The Winter Farmers Market will take place four times through the season — every other Saturday on Jan. 17, Jan. 31, Feb. 14, and Feb. 28 — from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. each day, in the downstairs taproom. Farmers, bakers, and other small businesses will be offering a variety of locally grown and locally made goods.

Confirmed vendors include All American Wontons, Baked By Spock, The Big Cheese, Fields of Dough, Green Solutions Roots, Heda Healing Health and Wellness, Horman’s Best Pickles, The Lemon Life, Madefresh Organic, Merlin’s Unrefined, MooLa Farm, Pat’s Bakehouse, Plantopia LI, Pure Raw Brands, and Saha Guys.
