The indoor market is back!

The Veggie Park Farmers Market, presented by Augusta Locally Grown, takes place at The Hub for Community Innovation Augusta on Chafee Ave. This is an indoor market with local farmers and vendors selling fresh produce and handmade items.

Hallway at ALG

Just one hallway filled with vendors at the Veggie Farmers Market. The is another hallway to the left that is also filled with vendors.

Thursday, April 18, was the opening day for the market. It will take place every Thursday starting at 4 pm and go until 7 pm. You can explore two long hallways filled with local goodies.

I have some advice – get there early! I arrived at about 6 pm yesterday. While other vendors still had items others were completely sold out.

For the opening day of the season, they had a little bit of everything from kids BINGO Table with Veggie Prizes to a live DJ. There were also food tasting DEMOS happening and Prime Time Food Truck was out in the courtyard for your dinner needs.

They’re all kinds of vendors at the market. This vendor here sells raw natural honey and other honey products. For people with bad allergies during the spring season, raw honey can be your best friend. A spoonful of it a day keeps the sneezes and sniffles away.

If you can’t make it in person they also have the market online and you can get it delivered!

Want to Know Where You Can Get A Veggie Burger in Augusta?

June 5 is recognized as National Veggie Burger Day and it had me thinking, where can someone get a veggie burger around the CSRA? Even as someone who’s not a sole vegan or vegetarian, I do enjoy plant-based food options. I asked around the community where one can get a good veggie burger in Augusta and these were some of the options that were given.
