Warm weather means it’s time again for Highlands Marketplace, staged at Kelsey-Hutchinson Park on Saturdays from 8:00 A.M. to noon.
This is the spot to find a variety of homegrown goods and fresh dairy products. The Market has been a blessing to folks looking to buy fresh local produce, honey, and other homemade goodness.
Since no commercial vendors are allowed, when you shop at Highlands Marketplace, you’re supporting Highlanders. You’ll find lots of agricultural products, baked goods and craft items.
Kelsey-Hutchinson Park, or Founders’ Park, is located on Pine Street in downtown Highlands and has provided a much needed location for community gatherings. This is a popular place and the Marketplace may have to yield its Saturdays to other community organizations, but they’ll be there most mornings.
If you’re a vendor looking to participate, please note no commercial businesses will be allowed to participate in The Highlands Marketplace. The committee that organizes the marketplace is looking for new vendors who meet the limitations, so for more information or an application contact Don Deal at (828) 342-8239. As a shopper, don’t forget to stop by Founders’ Park Saturdays for the best in local food and crafts.
