Whether you’re in the area for a weekend, a week, a season, or a year, make visits to our local farmers’ markets a regular ritual. Summer’s squashes, corn, peas, and tomatoes are offering their final flavor, tang, and zing for the season—enjoy them while they last. In just a few weeks, we’ll be dreaming of fabulous fall and the root vegetables and pumpkins that will soon fill our baskets. So gather August’s last gasp of gustatory glory.
Mix that blend of late-summer bounty with early hints of fall—jars of jam and honey, fresh meats, stems and botanicals, pastries, and so much more—at the Highlands Farmers Market and Locally Grown at Village Green Market in Cashiers.
Plan your visits:
Highlands Farmers Marketplace — Saturdays, 8:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. at Kelsey-Hutchinson Park on Pine Street in Highlands.
Locally Grown at Village Green — Wednesdays, 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. through October 29 at 160 Frank Allen Road in Cashiers.
Support our local farmers. When they thrive, we do too—with healthy food for our families and dollars in farmers’ pockets to grow more. These two producer-only markets offer nourishing food, treats, and creations that carry the feel, heart, and essence of mountain and valley life—hand-grown and handmade.
On occasion, Don Deal produces greens and other delicious fare in Highlands’ off-season. Inquire directly. Interested in becoming a Highlands vendor? Call Don at (828) 342-8239.
The Village Green welcomes additional vendors as well. Hand-grown produce is always appreciated, and staples like honey, dairy, and pastry are in high demand. For more information, contact The Village Green at (828) 743-3434.
Both markets are well-attended, clean, and accommodating, with ample parking. Bring a basket, a checklist, and a mouth and belly ready to enjoy. Scrumptiousness is right at hand.
