It is the end of May in
our small North Carolina vacation spot. The tailgate markets, farmers markets and roadside
stands are really starting to bustle. The
last few weeks have brought beautiful, sweet strawberries, and pretty soon it
will be blueberry season. And then the
tomatoes come in, and do not forget about the fresh corn on the cob. Oh yeah, and I forgot to mention watermelon
(my personal favorite!).
Keeping a farm fresh
kitchen at our Hendersonville inn would
be tough if we did not get out and find all of those wonderful small growers
that are near to us. Finding fresh and
tasty, newly grown morsels to eat is also fun and educational. Locating fresh fruits and vegetables is definitely
part of the charm of Henderson County and if you can take the time to wander
around the area on a Saturday, you will not be disappointed. Every other day- of-the-week will also net
you some goodies if you do a little homework first. Do not be put off. It is not much homework if you look for Diane
Daniel’s book “Farm Fresh North Carolina”, go to www.farmfreshnorthcarolina.com
or do a little research on the internet.
Here are just a few of
the more memorable tailgate and farmers' markets near the inn:
o Henderson
County Tailgate Market –
Saturday mornings on King Street in Hendersonville. Local farmers come to the parking lot with produce,
flowers and meats. www.hendersoncountytailgatemarket.com
