Highlands Farmers Market, A Saturday Staple
Meadows Mountain Realty, Highlands NC real estate
The Highlands Farmers Market is a Saturday staple. Every Saturday throughout the summer, from 8 am to 12:30 pm at Kelsey-Hutchinson Founders Park on Pine Street, you can find the freshest food options available to the community. Options include locally grown produce, meats, dairy, baked goods, honey, jams, flowers, salves, soaps, crafts, and more. Support local growers and makers while enhancing your lifestyle at the same time!
Why eat local?
Shopping at a farmer’s market fosters a direct connection between consumers and local farmers, creating a sense of community and transparency in the food supply chain. Interacting directly with the growers and producers offers valuable insights into where and how food is grown or sourced. The quality, freshness, and sustainability of the products purchased will not disappoint. Moreover, the diverse array of seasonal fruits, vegetables, meats, and artisanal products reflects the region’s agricultural richness. This variety supports the preservation of local agricultural traditions as well as the biodiversity of the Highlands Plateau.
Support the local economy
Shopping at a farmer’s market contributes to the local economy in significant ways. Buying directly from farmers and small-scale producers helps keep money circulating within the Highlands NC community, bolstering local businesses and livelihoods. This offers a great economic impact and helps foster sustainable agriculture, contributing to the environment and your health!
