As the crop reaches peak season in Western North Carolina, the Hendersonville Farmers Market will celebrate the humble tomato with a special event.
Shoppers are invited to enjoy the fun-filled Tomato Day from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 6, at the market along Maple Street in the Historic Seventh Avenue District. In addition to a plethora of locally produced goods from seasonal vendors, the market will feature:
Approximately 40 vendors will be at the market on Tomato Day with an expansive selection of tomatoes including slicing varieties, paste varieties, and even experimental varieties varying in color, taste, and size. Other products at the market range from locally grown produce and meat to fresh coffee, baked goods, cut flowers, plants and artisan crafts.
Shoppers can enjoy live music from local bluegrass groups Hightop Mountain Harmony, who will play at the Depot, and the Barn Spiders, who will play at the Jam Tent.
