Homegrown, handpicked, and handmade local goodness can be found at the Green Market, Cashiers farm stand market for local growers beginning April 7 through October 27. 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 125-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 that morning or plant your entryway with locally grown perennials. Always fresh. Always local.
Visit the Green Market website to learn more.
During this time of physical distancing, the Green Market will follow best practices to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our customers and vendors. Customers should plan to bring face coverings to wear while you shop. Market hours will be strictly observed; no early shopping. Customers should stay home if they are experiencing illness of any kind. Vendors will also follow the same procedures in addition to the safe set-up and sanitizing practices.

StoryWalk Ribbon Cutting
2021-04-02 11:00 - 11:30 | Village Play, Playground, 35 W. Hwy 64, Cashiers, 28717, United States
Installation of the much-anticipated Cashiers Greenway Ramble StoryWalk™ in the Village Green is complete. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Friday, April 2 at 11:00 am at the Village Green picnic area, and coincides with International Children’s Book Day. The StoryWalk™ was made possible through a collaboration between Vision Cashiers, The Village Green, The Albert Carlton-Cashiers Library, and The Literary Council of Cashiers.
A StoryWalk™ provides an outdoor adventure that champions reading along with family connection, health, and wellness. Pages of a story are posted at a series of stations along a trail, allowing families and friends to enjoy a story as they walk the path. It is a concept that has taken hold in many communities across the country, and due to the work of many dedicated individuals, the Cashiers community can now embrace its own version. The national StoryWalk™ project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, Vermont, and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg-Hubbard Library and the Vermont Bicycle and Pedestrian Coalition.
The first installation is up and features The Coming Soon Series, which is a delightful series of 18 pages positioned on a standard base along the park pathway. The intention behind the series is to educate the public about what they can expect from this attraction for their children and to thank the many generous donors for making it possible. Although the content of the Coming Soon Series is geared to adults, each page offers a fun, educational activity for children in both English and Spanish.
