Christmas is almost here. It’s so close that I can smell the pine cones and nutmeg, but for some reason, every year I wait until the very last minute to buy presents. For fellow last minute shoppers, the next Farm to Neighbors (F2N) is your last chance to pick up Beijing’s artisan crafts in time for Christmas.
F2N partners with Beijing Kerry Center to host this year’s Christmas market on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. F2N is a community platform dedicated to promoting sustainable lifestyles and green vegetable consumption. Aside from vendors, F2N is where you can go to find out all about recycling in Beijing as well as where the recycled products go, what they’re used for, and even purchase some cool apparel made from recycled plastic. It’s a market that brings together the local community to share a select group of organic vegetable vendors combining a low-packaging, low-waste system with handmade gifts, jewelry, crafts, and art.
Head over for some farm fresh fruits and veggies, freshly baked bread, and cakes for your Christmas Eve home dinner or snag some last minute gifts by Beijing’s Christmas market veteran Liuba Draws. Her watercolors capture the vibe of local Beijing life and are one of my all-time-favorite gifts for friends and family back home.
Enjoy healthy, guilt-free shopping.
Free. Dec 23 – 24 from 11.00 am -7.00 pm
