Some folks eat tomatoes. Some eat tomato sandwiches too. And here in Henderson and other southern areas you often hear tomatoes referred to as “maters.” For example, a bacon, lettuce and “mater” sandwich.
The theme Saturday, July 9 at the Vance County Regional Farmers Market is ‘Mater Matters.’
The market’s weekly newsletter, which is available by email, says, “A variety of fresh locally grown tomatoes is in abundance…Samples available at Saturday’s Market. Take a taste and pick your favorite!”
Open 7:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturdays and Wednesdays.
