Publisher’s Note: As published each week, below are excerpts from the Lenoir County Farmer’s Market newsletter.

PLEASE OBEY GOV. COOPER'S MANDATE TO WEAR MASKS
AND TO OBSERVE SOCIAL DISTANCING

Market Hours

Tuesday - 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Thursday - (Pork skins only) 8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.
Saturday -  8:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m.

Which is uglier? Rattlesnake string beans or heirloom tomatoes? Next question is: what could taste better than either of them? These two items are some of the worst looking and best tasting things out market offers.

Bill Tighman is bringing his string beans Saturday, and there WILL be heirloom tomatoes. You had better shop early because both will sell out early!

The same goes for the beautiful flower bouquets offered by Brooke Freeman of Brooke's Flower Farm. Thewe will be perfect for your 4th of July celebration.
