New Time, Same Market!
Choose the food less traveled at the Green Market, Cashiers farm stand market for local growers. The market is “producer-only” meaning that the vendor must be the grower or producer of ALL the products they sell. Vendors must produce within a 100-mile radius of Cashiers. That means that the season for each fruit and vegetable is longer. Shopping at the Green Market provides a forum for learning how food is grown, who grew it, and why it tastes so good.
Fill your basket with naturally raised meat and dairy items, fresh eggs, jams, pickles, freshly baked bread and delicious granola. Set your table with fresh cut flowers or plant your entryway with locally grown perennials. Always fresh. Always local.
Locally Grown On the Green | 11AM – 3PM
Every Wednesday May 1 – October 30th

July 31st Presentation Description: Story is a conservation value that doesn’t drive most people’s ideas of evaluating and saving land. John Lane will discuss his latest book GULLIES OF MY PEOPLE in hopes of beginning a conversation about adding “restorying” to the index of conservation values. Lane knows through experience that stories are often lost as land changes land and status and creating narratives can reattach memories and events to places.
