One of the best farmer’s markets in this area is the Cobblestone market at Old Salem. Old Salem is the Salem half of Winston-Salem, a place with colonial roots going back to the Great Wagon Road from Pennsylvania to Georgia.

The market opened just last week. There were plenty of greenhouse items, including starter plants, lettuces, and spring greens.

Going there is always a treat.<\/p>\n
