Wednesday afternoon markets are a great option for those who can not come out on Saturdays. We have been averaging over 20 vendors on Wednesday with a great selection of produce, garden plants, foods and great hand crafts. There will be no sales allowed before 4PM to give our vendors time to set up properly.

The 2009 High Country Farm Tour will be held on Saturday August 8th and Sunday August 9th from 1 pm to 5. Wrist bands can be purchased online at the Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture website.
