How to eat local in the winter.

12/17/2018

Even though it's cold outside, there are plenty of High Country farmers who continue to bare the elements to bring us the freshest, highest quality products from the chilly High Country soil (thanks greenhouses and high tunnels!)

So how can you buy local this winter?

Luckily, Blue Ridge Women in Agriculture operates two markets that are open all winter!

High Country Food Hub

This innovative online market features over 500 products from 50+ local farmers and small businesses

Boone winter farmers market

This fun and festive market is open the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of Dec - April from 9am -12pm.

But what's available this time of year?

An abundance!

Below is just a sampling of some of the delicious goodness available at the Food Hub and winter market. Check them out to see for yourself why local is better.
