Collapse ▲Well, it seems like spring is finally here. Insects are starting to wake up, the winter weeds are going to seed, the nights are warmer and farmers are disappearing into the fields to grow/raise some good food. Help show your appreciation for all their hard work by checking out Catawba County’s farmers markets. It is a great place to see what the farmers in our region are producing and to enjoy some food, music, arts, and crafts. Several markets are offering an impressive event list for the season so be sure to check websites for musical guests and other entertainment.
