Let's celebrate ALL of the producers wherever we are, especially right here in the Piedmont and at Cobblestone! When you scroll down to check out the vendor highlights, it is a true joy to appreciate that a farmers market provides us with the most authentic version of commerce with transparency and direct producer to consumer sales.

Did you know that when you shop at a farmers market, 100% of your food dollar goes directly to the farmer versus 15 cents on the dollar at a retail grocer? Those direct dollars often translate into producers' business growth which means new jobs on the farm, in the bakery, in the winery or the cheese cave!

Tag the Cobblestone Farmers Market in all of your Market fun or cooking and use the hashtag #cobblestonefarmersmarket to let folks know where your Saturday morning shopping is happening!

Cobblestone LOCAL equals 50+ independent Piedmont food businesses in one place!

MARKET FINDS

HERBS are a wonderful addition to ANYTHING edible at the farmers market, offering a delicious local spice or flavor you can throw in your mix of produce or meat.

Take advantage of the herbs that are available at the market - the variety is endless including seasonal favorites like Genovese BASIL, PARSLEY, MINT, THYME, SAGE and CHIVE as well as Tarragon, Rosemary and Tulsi, Thai, Purple and Lemon Basils to give your local fare a little more flair.

Oh, what about herbs in teas? Lemon grass, mint, chamomile are just a few you will find!

Have some HERBAL fun!

We often get carried away when at the farmers’ market—it’s hard not to stop when all the offerings look and smell so deliciously fresh. While vendors typically have some type of bag available for buyers, they won’t have large bags like your local grocer. Please come prepared with your own tote or reusable bag to hold your market haul.

Without a proper container, you might find yourself struggling to juggle produce instead of peacefully perusing the goods. If you are somewhat of a bag hoarder - no worries! We want your bags for our friends who may have forgotten their own! Bring them to the Information Tent!
