The Lake Oconee Lifestyle includes wonderful shopping opportunities to pick up fresh produce when it’s in season. One of the largest and the most  popular Farmer’s Markets  is held weekly on a grassy area inside the Harmony Crossing  shopping center. All of the vendors are from a radius of 75 miles around the market. The event takes place from May to September,  every Saturday morning  from 8 AM until 12 Noon.

So many friends have recommended this particular farmer’s market to me, so I ventured down the road today to try it out.  I came away with my favorite vine-ripened tomatoes, squash, and some fresh bread.  Many vendors offered samples of their wares;  I tasted a bit of Hummingbird Cake (a Southern treat), and some tomatoes.  However, I learned to be cautious in tasting samples as some “spicy” peach salsa  sent me running for water!!

This Farmer’s Market includes all types of local produce, but also includes home sewn gifts,  local artists’ creations, honey, and a wonderful array of freshly baked pastries and cakes.  Don’t miss this special “happening” if you are  in the Lake Oconee area on a  Saturday morning!  This Farmer’s Market  is  a wonderful part of the Lake Oconee Lifestyle.
