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.

While James Henderson’s green thumb stretches to a wide assortment of fresh veggies and herbs, the proprietor of Henderson Natural Farm is best known for his Shiitake mushrooms.
In this video, James shares his passion for farming, how he got started with Shiitake mushrooms, and his one wish for potential farmers in Warren County, North Carolina!
To get a taste of these homegrown mushrooms, James can often be found at the Warren County Farmers Market in Warrenton, NC.
