TEN YEARS AND GOING STRONGBy Kasie Strickland
EASLEY -- The annual kick o� to the season is underway as the Easley Farmer’s Market is celebrating a decade of bringing local farmers, growers and hobbyists together.
This year’s Spring Fling is looking to be one of the largest markets to date with vendors having long since claimed their spots to sell their fresh fruits and veggies, handmade arts and crafts, plants, breads and jams, and of course, plenty of music and entertainment to shop to.
Although the Market is traditionally held in the parking lot in front of City Hall, once again, the Spring Fling -- due to its size and continued popularity -- will be held in Old Market Square.
Music is set to kick o� at 9 a.m. with the Easley Community Band on the Arts Council of Pickens county Stage.
Meanwhile, over in the Amphitheater, Jazz bands from Easley High School, Powdersville High School, Southern Wesleyan University and Furman University will be taking turns giving festival-goers something to dance to.
“The � rst year they held the market, I only came once in a while,” said Brittany St. John of Easley. “Last year, I think I came every week. Even if you see a lot of the same vendors from week to week -- they almost always have new stu� to o� er. Besides, it’s just nice to get out and stroll around on a pretty day.”
As always, the Market will be open rain or shine.
The Easley Farmer’s Market will resume its regular spot in front of City Hall on April 14 with Pickens County Meals on Wheels taking the spot of non-pro� t booth of the day.

for kids.
A farmers’ market is likely coming to a � eld or open parking lot near you — if there isn’t already one operating nearby. The United States Department of Agriculture says that, between the years of 2008 and 2013, the number of farmers’ markets doubled across the country. Farmers’ markets will continue to thrive and expand as people increasingly realize the bene� ts of supporting local food providers. Buyers who are not yet familiar with farmer’s markets can examine the following seven reasons to break the ice.
1. Enjoy fresh, seasonal foods.Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season o� erings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.
2. Discover new foods.There’s always something new at a farmers’ market, and this can entice shoppers to expand their � avor palates. Explore interesting, locally grown items. Even children may fall in love with colorful fruits or vegetables and their refreshing tastes.
3. Embrace organic and non-GMO o� erings.Many farmers’ markets o� er foods that are organically grown and are produced without GMOs. Farmers’ market retailers also tend to give � rsthand accounts of where their foods come from and how they are grown or raised.
4. Indulge in nutritious foods.The vivid colors and smells emanating from farmers’ markets indicate just how fresh and nutritious the o� erings tend to be. Farmers who peddle their wares at farmers’ markets adhere to careful farming methods to ensure their foods are as nutritious as possible.
5. Learn secrets and recipes.In addition to fresh produce, farmers’ markets may o� er baked and other prepared goods. Shopkeepers often mingle with their customers, o� ering trade secrets and recipe ideas. Additionally, local farm families supported by farmers’ markets generally o� er supreme customer service to keep shoppers coming back week after week.
6. Turn the trip into a social excursion.A farmers’ market can be an exciting and � avorful social gathering place for families and groups of friends, as well as a great place to meet other members of the community. Sometimes farmers also mingle with local artisans, so the market can be a one-stop-shopping locale for locally produced food and art.
7. Save money.Farmers’ markets may sell organic produce at a cost comparable or even lower than other retailers. That’s because local farmers don’t have to transport their items as far as retailers whose foods were shipped from far away places. Any time of the year is perfect for grabbing a tote bag and browsing the wares at a nearby farmers’ market, where shoppers are bound to � nd something fresh, unique and delicious.
