High Country Farmers Markets

Visiting a local High Country farmers market is one of the best ways to get to know the local people, culture and flavor of the High Country. You may pick up a local recipe or see a native flowering plant that only grows in this part of the Appalachian Mountains. The farmers might direct you to their favorite picnic spot or a hidden place to pick your own wild berries. You will also find many stands along the country roads featuring local honey, jams and produce.
