It’s officially here! The lull between seasons. But market faithful, be of good heart, there’s still plenty of good stuff at the market this week. Come stock up on winter squash, okra, green beans, eggplant, garlic, herbs, fresh baked breads, homemade cookies, and the best caramel corn around! Fall harvest is on its way.
Conveniently located near downtown Clarkesville, the Clarkesville Farmers Market is a 100% chemical free outdoor market (which includes up to six Certified Naturally Grown farms) that’s open Saturdays, 9 a.m. until noon. It’s located next to The Old Clarkesville Mill (683 Grant Street).
This week’s vendors:
Angel Mountain Sweets: Come hungry, because Sherrie is going all out this week: Amish sweet rolls, French bread, yeast dinner rolls, your favorite cakes, and their new tomato specialties. Don’t forget to pick up a bag of our special cookies like Caramel Delights and a bag of fresh baked Cheese Biscuits! As always they take orders for your favorite recipes (send them a Facebook pm via Angel Mountain Sweets).
Aprons–Ties That Bind: Sadie Kelly is a local maker of aprons, aprons, and more aprons. She makes them for babies, children, teens, women, and even men. Some aprons are fun, others are cute, others are creative, but all are great for utilitarian use―the original purpose for aprons. In the kitchen, in the shop, in the garden, in the artist’s studio, or at a party. No two are ever exactly the same. And while you’re at the market, be sure to pick up a flyer that explains the bond created by aprons.
