Summer’s heat can be beat – just try a slice of icy-cold watermelon or a peach dripping with sweetness. Find them at the Wake Forest Farmers Market Saturday from 8 a.m. to noon in Renaissance Plaza on Brooks Street.
Vendors will be offering those watermelons and peaches along with tomatoes, sweet corn, squash, beans, black-eyed peas and lima beans as well as many varieties and cuts of meats – beef, chicken, pork, goat, lamb, turkey and rabbit – eggs, seafood, breads and baked goods, fair trade coffee, chocolate and local honey.
There are also a number of other vendors offering jewelry, baskets, wood products, soaps, lotions, dog treats, fresh-cut flowers, perennial and annual plants, and herbs.
The next special event at the market will be Pottery/Craft Day on Saturday, Sept. 10, with food, music and activities for children.
If you go to www.wakeforestfarmersmarket.org you can find the vendor list with a profile and contact information for each. The market is also on Facebook.
