Venture out to the Vance Regional Farmers Market and you’re likely to hear “I need some peas, enough for supper,” or “Have you got a peck of pickling cukes?” Market Manager Pat Ayscue said the farmers who bring their produce and other goods to the market each week are prepared to fill orders small or large.
So whether it’s local vine-ripened tomatoes, butterbeans, sweet corn or purple hull peas you’re looking for, you’ll be sure to find them at the farmers market, open Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. during the summer.
And what’s better than freshly-dug new potatoes, snaps, zucchini, squash and bell peppers for creating a healthy summer meal?
Not into doing the canning or pickling yourself? No problem! Ayscue said canned tomatoes, pickles and jellies are in good supply.
In addition to the fresh produce, the market has a variety of handcrafted items created by local artisans.
The farmers market is located at 210 Southpark Dr. off Beckford Drive in Henderson.
