Locally Grown on The Green Farmers Market
2024-09-04 11:00 - 15:00, 2024-09-11 11:00 - 15:00, 2024-09-18 11:00 - 15:00, 2024-09-25 11:00 - 15:00 | Common’s Lawn, 160 Frank Allen Road, Cashiers, NC, 28717, United States
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

2024-09-06 18:00 - 20:30 | Common’s Lawn, 160 Frank Allen Road, Cashiers, NC, 28717, United States
While Back Porch Orchestra started their journey as a modern band, there’s no doubt that they’re shaped by their homegrown, traditional roots. They prefer both original material rooted in blues, bluegrass, country, and classic rock, or covering any of your favorite hits from the 1950s to present day.
Groovin’ on The Green is held rain or shine from 6-8:30pm on the Common’s Lawn. This is a FREE community event; no registration is necessary. Bring your dancing shoes, lawn chairs, picnics and cooler for a night of unforgettable musical experiences! Dogs are welcome if they are leashed and with their owners at all times.
Food and beverage vendors will be onsite during the event!
Donations are collected by The Village Green during the event to help offset event costs and to be able to continue to offer Groovin’ on The Green for FREE. The Village Green is a 501c3 nonprofit public park system that relies solely on donations to bring the community events we have all come to cherish.
