A Visit to the Market
Written By: Jenny King | Issue: 2018/08 - August
Don’t make your weekend meal plans until you visit the Highlands Marketplace at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park. Each Saturday, local farmers, growers, and artists gather under the tents to offer fresh produce, flowers, soaps and salves, baked goods, and all types of art to the early bird shoppers.
Not only is this local farmers market the place to find just what’s at the peak of the season, but they may even offer a few things that’ll help you stretch your culinary imagination. Have you ever prepared fresh gooseberries or kohlrabi? Just ask the vendors there for their tips and tricks. Who knows, maybe you will discover some new favorites!
The Highlands Marketplace is held Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. and is a great place to bring the kids and grandkids. They’ ll see what real food looks like when it’s not wrapped in Styrofoam and cellophane and maybe even hear a bit about what it takes to grow food. Let them pick out something that catches their eye, and let them help prepare a meal using their choices.
Of course, bringing your guests to Highlands Marketplace is always a great idea. Let them select what they want for Sunday Brunch and get a taste of what Highlands has to offer off Main Street. Yes, you may also bring your leashed pets.
The Highlands Marketplace will continue through October.
