Well, technically it’s farmers market time for the Charlotte area. Those of us in higher elevations have to wait a little bit longer. Yesterday was the Vernal Equinox. It’s officially spring! I’m ready for some warmer weather activities such as hiking, exfoliating, and buying fresh produce. Here is some information about just some of our local farmers markets and their hours.
