With the cooler days and the lack of locally grown produce available, the Tuesday Market has been closed for the past two weeks due to lack of vendors. Will keep customers up-to-date should we have vendors who have produce to sell on Tuesdays!

Wondering what fruits and vegetables are in season right now? I know I've seen several roadside stands with cantaloupe (only in season in July/August), peaches, etc - all of which are not grown locally during this time of the year! So, for those who prefer fresh, locally grown produce, the following are currently "in season" in Rutherford County - apples, October beans, green beans, broccoli, cabbage, cucumbers, leafy greens, sweet potatoes/yams, tomatoes, pears and pecans!

Next time you're at the Market, stop by our information table and pick up our "What's in Season?" handout. Buy local and contribute to the economic growth of North Carolina and to our farmers!
