The Vance County Regional Farmers Market will be open one more Wednesday this season before it drops back to Saturday-only hours.
Wednesday, Aug. 30 marks the unofficial end to summertime at the Farmers Market, but Market Manager Pat Ayscue says vendors still have lots of produce as summer transitions to fall.
The vine-ripe tomatoes just keep getting better, Ayscue said. Fruits such as watermelons, cantaloupe, peaches and apples are displayed alongside veggies including peas, butterbeans, okra, sweet corn, squash, zucchini and onions
Ayscue encourages patrons to chat with vendors and farmers about the grass-fed beef and pork – and don’t forget the tasty farm-fresh eggs!
There’s local honey, delicious fresh baked goods as well as fresh-cut flowers and handcrafted items for sale.
The market will be open until sometime in December, Ayscue said. Saturday hours remain 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“Stop by and put a smile on a farmer’s face where the produce is so fresh it looks like it’s still growing,” Ayscue says.
And, as always, thanks for supporting your local farmers market.
The Vance County Regional Farmers Market is located at 210 Southpark Drive, just off Beckford Drive, Henderson.
