Brian Larky of Dalla Terra Wine Direct will be in Cashiers from 2-5 p.m., Wednesday, July 21 at The Village Green Commons. He will be offering a wine tasting during the weekly Green Market. Dalla Terra Wine Direct represents a small and select group of leading family-owned wineries in Italy. Much like the mission of the Green Market to focus on locally grown and sourced food, Larky’s goal is to minimize the footprint of the importer to make the best-quality wines from Italy accessible to consumers. What’s more the wineries Dalla Terra Wine Direct represents are grown sustainably and organically.
Brian Larky will be pouring 18 different wines from a variety of regions in Italy. Dalla Terra Wine Direct represents producers from the Piedmont to Emilia-Romagna in the North all the way to the southern regions of Puligia and Sicily. Because of the diverse environments, each region grows its own unique grapes that yield varieties like Barbera, Sangiovese, and Pinot Grigio. These become popular as Barolo, Brunello, and Prosecco, to name a few.
Highlands Wine Shoppe is sponsoring this special Green Market event. A $20 donation to taste the wines will benefit The Village Green, Cashiers 13 acre privately conserved public park. For more information, call Highlands Wine Shoppe at 828-526-4080.

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.

Customers should plan to bring face coverings to wear while you shop. Market hours will be strictly observed; no early shopping.

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.
