Traveler's Rest Farmers Market

Every Thursday, local farmers, artists, musicians, and food truckers alike can meet at the Traveler's Rest Farmers Market to feed, entertain, and engage in conversation with people who commute from all over the Greenville area. Among those commuters today were my classmate-friend-awesome human Lettie and I, as we enjoyed homemade cinnamon bread, barbecue, and bluegrass music along with probably 200 other people. What struck most about the market was the fantastic sense of community and mutual friendliness not only between fellow consumers but also between the consumers and the sellers themselves. I think that sort of connection is what sets the farmers market apart from a Walmart or Kroger. It's just as healthy and wholesome for the community as the food is for the consumer.
