Save the date for the return of the Warren County Farmers Market!

In a newsletter sent out Thursday evening, Danylu Hundley of the Warren Growers Association announced the farmers market will return Saturday, April 30th. When asked if anything would be different this year, Hundley indicated they are working on details, but are “looking forward to a strong season.”

Farmers markets provide an excellent opportunity to meet local farmers, ask questions, and purchase directly from the source.

During the last season, one item in particular that became an instant fave was the Jimmy Red Grits from Bender Farms. His grits have not only reached homes near and far, but also made its way to the latest menu at Blue Jay Bistro in Littleton, NC.
