Haywood farmers market pulls out the stops this weekend

The Haywood Historic Farmers Market will be even more festive and lively than usual this Saturday, June 18.

Farmers and market vendors will be cooking up dishes using local foods, including a grilling booth, and giving out free samples and recipes.

Jeanne Driese, a master gardener, will present a soil talk and slideshow at 9 and 11 a.m. about why old-growth forests don’t need fertilizer and how they grow without our “help.” Driese is a member of Big Spring Master Gardeners Association of Greene County Tenn., and has been an organic gardener for 50 years.

Barbara Duncan, awarding winning author, singer, songwriter and poet, will be on stage. Duncan is the educational director at the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. She’ll be featured from 9:30 a.m. till 11 a.m.

The Farmers Market runs from 8 a.m. until 1 p.m. at the HART Theater parking lot, next to the Shelton House on Pigeon Street in Waynesville
