I visited the farmers market on a gloomy Saturday and honestly had such a good time exploring all…read morethe vendors. Even with the cloudy weather, there was plenty going on and so many different things to choose from. There were independent vendors selling everything from coffee, lemonade, kettle corn, pork rinds, pastries, flowers, candles, mushrooms, handmade soaps, dairy products, meats, essential oils, and more. There were also plenty of seasonal items like mums, pumpkins, tomatoes, and lots of apples to choose from. I almost talked myself into buying some mums and some handpicked flowers, but I couldn't commit this time. There were just too many vendors to choose from! Of course, I did leave with a few things. I grabbed some tomatoes, coffee, and lemonade. I also stopped by Las Mas Empanadas and got three empanadas: spinach and cheese, onion and cheese, and caprese. I had a great conversation with the owner, who was super nice and welcoming. I also talked with the owner of Hook & Ladder and loved hearing his story. He was incredibly friendly and it was nice getting to know a little more about the person behind the business. Another vendor that caught my attention was Bonjour Y'all. I spoke with the baker behind the stall and found out that he actually studied under the owner of Breakfast in Paris here in Greensboro, which immediately made me want to try his pastries. I love Breakfast in Paris, so I was excited to give his treats a try. I picked up an apple pastry and a cinnamon roll, and I'm definitely looking forward to trying more from him. There are also several vendors that seem to have permanent or more permanent spots inside the covered/enclosed area. There's even an ice cream shop that also sells coffee, which is a fun bonus. The market is really easy to navigate, with parking on both sides, sidewalks, accessible bathrooms, and an ATM on site. It's handicap accessible and very wagon-friendly, so bringing a little one along is no problem. Most vendors accept both cash and cards. Everyone I interacted with was super friendly, and I really enjoyed being able to actually talk to the people behind the businesses and hear their stories. There's a great mix of food, produce, baked goods, flowers, handmade products, and local businesses. Overall, it's a great Saturday stop whether you're looking to grab breakfast or coffee, shop for fresh produce, pick up some seasonal items, discover local vendors, or just walk around and see what catches your eye. I definitely left with more than I planned to, and I'm already looking forward to going back and trying some of the vendors I didn't get to this time.

North Carolina has the best farmers markets. There are a few to mention but for this review I'll…read morestay focused on Robert G Shaw Piedmont Triangle Farmers Market in Colfax, NC. I had recently moved to Asheboro and soon realized there are no solid farmers markets here and in my research located RGSPTFM. When I took the turn into the grounds, I was quickly impressed. They have a section for flowers and plants, a section for outdoor decor and gardening supplies, a section for crafts and such, a FOOD TRUCK section, and of course 2 large areas for produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, fresh floral arrangements, local honey, fresh eggs and so much more. It's so much fun to head out on a Saturday morning and walk through all of the sections. Lots of friendly vendors selling their wares and lots of people watching if you are into that. I come for the meats, produce, and homemade baked goods and have yet to be disappointed. So bring your shopping bags, wear your comfortable shoes and head on over for a wholesome weekend experience I highly recommend!

Cool store to check out right off the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's packed full of all kinds of mountain…read morestuff, gifts, souvenirs, jams, jellies, produce, candy, ciders, clothing, and they have a big assortment of Lodge cast iron cook wear. They also have a little kitchen in the back where they offer sandwiches and scratch made biscuits and homemade breads, fried pies and a bunch of other stuff. There's no seating inside, there are some tables, rockin' chairs and benches outside if you want to sit and eat. From the kitchen I ordered a ham, egg & cheese biscuit and got a little container of their banana puddin'. The biscuit was great, the nanner puddin' was ok, I also got a couple of their no bake chocolate oatmeal cookies for the road which were awesome, they call them "Preachers Cookies" here, I always knew them as "Cow Patties"... really neat place.

I swung by a place next door for lunch. They were crazy busy though and I saw on Yelp that this…read moreplace did sandwiches so I decided to give them a try. It was barely controlled chaos in the store to say the least. It was a Saturday when I swung through, so all of the tourists from the Blue Ridge Parkway were stopping by for their tourist shopping fix. So I don't blame the chaos on the store so much as the tourists acting all rude and entitled, shoving their way around the store. I digress. The deli sandwich I had was very good, and made promptly. I also had a homemade brownie which had the perfect amount of sweetness and walnut ratio to it. I wanted to try the Possum Pie but just get the nerve up to ask what was in it. I mean it couldn't have been real possum could it? They do have limited outside tables. I was lucky enough to snag one but you may want to pick your food up here and then plan for a nice picnic on one of the parkways scenic pullouts.
