The twin farmers’ markets deliver the Plateau’s flavors of the season.
The twin farmers’ markets deliver the Plateau’s flavors of the season.
Really good farmers feed more than just the table. They also feed the soul. Prepare your table, taste buds, and soul for a peak encounter with the season’s plump, juicy, tasty delights of mountain and valley’s best.
The Plateau’s best local food producers are at Highlands Farmers Market on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. in Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street in Highlands, and Locally Grown at Village Green, Cashiers, every Wednesday, though October 30, 11:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M Exceptions: July 3 (for July 4 events) and August 7 (Cashiers Annual Antique Show).
Bonus: Village Green now has music to round out your produce-buying pleasure on
select Wednesdays.
Producer-only vendors must be the creator of every product they sell. Vendors must farm within a 100-mile radius of Cashiers.
If you know your farmer, you know your food. Feel free to chat with your growers-of-choice. For Village Green produce, vendors must farm within a 100-mile radius of Cashiers.
The Highlands Market provides a wide array of fresh produce, seafood, baked goods, plants, hemp oil plus hemp products, soy candles, herbs, sweets and other locally-sourced products. Add to that green onions, grape tomatoes, fresh lettuce, spinach and tender greens, sugar snap peas, and so much more.
Don Deal, manager of Highlands Farmer’s Market adds that if you are interested in participating as a vendor yourself, please contact him at (828) 342-8239.
Please contact [email protected] if you are interested in joining the Green Market as a vendor.
Both Markets are free and so is parking. Bring a big bag and a yummy menu to fill.
