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

A dynamic performer, playing 100-150 shows per year, Kevin Daniel’s music has been described as “radio and TV ready with enough darkness creeping in around the edges to appeal to fans of Jason Isbell & Langhorne Slim.” On his two early EPs, his 2019 debut album Things I Don’t See, and his 2021 follow-up, Been Here Before, Daniel showcases a masterful ability as a songwriter to seamlessly incorporate bits of rock, soul, country, blues, roots and Appalachia into thoughtful examination of pain and awakenings, visceral and spiritual. A big-voiced crooner with a heart of gold, Kevin strikes a chord with “his raw and soulful, Chris Stapleton-esque timbre.”
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.

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.
