Written By: Mary Jane McCall | Issue: 2021/07 – July
Treasures for the kitchen and the home are offered every Saturday morning at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
There’s nothing like taking the time to prepare a good home-cooked meal, and weekends are when we have time to cook from scratch.
Any good cook knows that a special meal calls for the finest ingredients, so why not visit the Highlands Marketplace on Saturday mornings from 8:00 A.M. until 12:30 P.M. at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street and pick up the freshest ingredients for your creation.
This open air market is a feast for the senses offering our area’s freshest produce, meats, seafood, and other products. The dew has barely dried on the produce, picked fresh from the fields.
Local farmers, craftsmen, and artists gather here under colorful tents selling the bounty of the season. Fresh produce of every imaginable kind can be found here on any given Saturday, and you can complete your menu with meats, seafood, fresh eggs, homemade breads, pastries, pies, jams, jellies, relishes, and dips, just to mention a few of the many delicious items available.
If you’re looking for something already prepared, why not pick up a quiche? Heat and Eat never tasted so good.
Your options are practically limitless so take your time to savor the selections. It’s a new and different delight every week so plan to start your weekend choosing the best of the mountains.
Don’t forget to check out all the local craft items available for sale here, too. Your perfect basket, homemade quilt, beautiful picture or piece of pottery will take on a special meaning when you have a chance to meet the artist, and hear firsthand the inspiration and hard work that went into each piece.
Saturday mornings are just right here at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park.
