This month’s Sage Market, sponsored by the Toccoa Main Street program, will feature not only fresh produce and hand crafted items, but several new additions to the event. Located in Historic Downtown Toccoa in the Stephens County Market Building at 409 Broad Street, the market will be held this Saturday, July 9 from 8:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon.
Each month the Sage Market joins together with the Stephens County Farmers Market and provides farm-fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, jams and jellies, seed plants, herbs, honey, flowers, and eggs as well as baked goods and desserts, handmade children’s clothes and accessories, quilts and other special gifts.
New this Saturday there will have a pickling station at the market for those interested in learning how to make pickles. Shoppers can purchase pickle ingredients from the local farmers and then make a pint of pickles with the help of the farmers. There will be a nominal fee to cover the cost of the jar, sugar, vinegar, etc. A copy of the recipe will be included. If interested, post a reply on the Stephens County Farmers Market Facebook page in order to ensure there will be enough supplies.
"Fresh Market Jam" music with Chuck Taylor and friends will also be featured this Saturday. Come and enjoy some good "foot stomping music" while shopping. There will also be samples of some of the fruits and vegetables along with some new and different recipes.
Sage Market is located in the Stephens County Market building at 409 Broad Street, next to Los Primos restaurant. Plenty of parking is available and is within walking distance of downtown Toccoa.
The dates for the 2011 season are August 13, September 10, and October 8.
