The tomato connoisseurs out there are in for a treat with a variety to choose from this week at CFM. New summer melons are expected to be ready for market day, too, plus local favorites like non-GMO corn, beans, and peppers. The market will feature farm fresh eggs, local raw honey, whole fruit jams, home baked goods, and naturally made health and beauty items. Last, but not least, K and H Farms will set up for their once-a-month appearance offering pastured chicken and pork.
Conveniently located near downtown Clarkesville, the Clarkesville Farmers Market is a 100% chemical free outdoor market (which includes four 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).
