Winter news from Farmer’s Market
Today, vendors at the Lenoir County Farmer’s Market will be Ronnie Hanchey Produce, Bill Tilghman Produce and Rodney Jarman Pork Skins.
Hanchey will be at the market on Saturdays until his produce is gone. Tilghman will also be there, on Tuesdays or Saturdays when feasible for him. Their winter veggies are filled with nutrients that will help ward off sniffles during flu and cold season.
Jarman will be frying pork skins on site today. The crispy skins come in three flavors: regular, barbecue, and salt and vinegar. Each bag sells for $2.
Support the market and supply yourself with fresh produce as long as it lasts.
