From organically-grown fresh fruit, veggies, and herbs―harvested only hours earlier, to local raw honey and jams, baked goodies, and handmade items, the Clarkesville Farmers Market offers much to locals and visitors alike. Conveniently located near downtown Clarkesville, this 100% chemical free market (which includes four Certified Naturally Grown farms) is open Saturdays, 9 a.m. until noon, next to The Old Clarkesville Mill (683 Grant Street).
This week’s vendors:
A Frayed Knot: New this week: water-resistant, waxed canvas lunch bags. Also offering boutique baby bibs (designer fabrics backed with minky or cotton chenille), chunky zipper pouches, leather key fobs and cotton webbing wristlet fobs, wooden beer carrier (one left!) and rustic wall-mounted bottle openers for Father’s Day.
Angel Mountain Sweets: Angel Mountain Sweets is looking forward to being back with you at the market in our usual spot. Lots of traditional baked goodies made with non-GMO and organic ingredients used throughout recipes, as well as Don’s delicious homemade biscuits. This week’s special: Heavenly Coconut Cake. On a regular Saturday it goes fast, so come early before it sells out. Remember, our specials are always $2 off while they last, and AMS offers a different special each week.
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.
Berryvine Farm: Christy will have black raspberries, kale, lettuce, beets, snap peas, broccoli, fresh herbs, cabbages, and possibly plums.
Christi’s Creations: Becca’s famous trail mix granola bars (almond cranberry chocolate), fresh baked rosemary bread, zucchini bread, blueberry lemon muffins, oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, and cinnamon scones. Come early for best selection!
