Farm-Fresh Products, Yearround

You can find great Haywood County farm products any time of the year!

All year long: Attend farm-related festivals and special events.  Try out trout and year-round products like honey, smoked tomato jam, and tomato sauces. 

Spring and Fall: Visit one of our greenhouses or nurseries and pick out some herbs, flowers, shrubs, and trees to plant in your yard – or to give as a gift!
