Winter farmers markets are a great time to continue to support local farmers and merchants.

These events have already begun in Polk County.

The Columbus Winter Market meets the first and third Saturday of each month, from November to April, at Iron Key Brewing (135 Locust Street).

The Saluda Winter Market takes place on the second and fourth Saturday of each month at 64 Greenville Street in Saluda.

The markets will run from 9 a.m. to noon.

Merchants will sell local produce, eggs, meats, delicious baked goods, pantry items, and handmade crafts.

Stop by and support your neighbors!
