Yum to the Very Last Crumb
Written By: Donna Rhodes | Issue: June 2024
The true taste of the Plateau is offered Wednesdays and Saturdays through the season.
The Highlands Farmers’ Market is held most Saturdays through October, 8:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. in Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street in Highlands.
The 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, wild ramps, and more. Your table shall runneth over with bowls and ladles and jars of yum.
Locally Grown on The Green, known for its locally grown produce, welcomes first class vendors offering an array of pastries, confections, farm-fresh veggies and herbs, and more homegrown goodness.
Shelby Batchelor, Community Event and Volunteer Coordinator of The Village Green in Cashiers, says, “We will have live music on select Wednesdays starting this month, and the market will continue to provide a great variety of local goods from our new and returning vendors. In addition, Elevated Kitchen Food Truck will be at The Village Green during our new market hours.”
The Village Green’s farmers’ market is a haven for food enthusiasts and those seeking locally grown ingredients. Locally Grown (at Village Green) continues every Wednesday, though October 30. Exceptions: July 3 (July 4th events) and August 7 (Cashiers Annual Antique Show).
Producer-only vendors must be the creator of every product they sell. Vendors must farm within a 100-mile radius of Cashiers.
Feel free to chat with your growers-of-choice. If you know your farmer, you know your food. Ask him or her to fill up a bag of freshness just for you.
Take it home and give those ingredients your special touch. Stir up a crockful of homecooked love, fresh from the farm right across the river or down the road. If it’s grown by your neighbor, it tastes so much better than pre-packaged, store-bought food from miles away.
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’re interested in joining the Green Market as a vendor.
Both markets are free and so is parking. See you there!
