Cotton Hills Farm is pleased to announce that Earth Fare in Rock Hill, SC will begin carrying our strawberries beginning May 4, 2009. Earth Fare is located near Winthrop University at 725 Cherry Road - Rock Hill, SC 29732.

Beginning May 2, Cotton Hills Farm will be selling produce at the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market each Saturday. This will be the third year that we have sold at this location. Generally, we begin selling around 8:00 in the morning and finish up by 1:00 in the afternoon. Right now, fresh strawberries will be our main item for sale. As the season continues, look for fresh tomatoes, peaches, sweet corn, melons, and more. We park in the first Farmer's Shed on the RIGHT as you enter the market. Oftentimes, we park towards the end of the shed but look for the enclosed truck backed up to the shed that has our name in large letters "Cotton Hills Farm" on the side and back. The address of the Charlotte Regional Farmer's Market is 1801 Yorkmont Road - Charlotte, North Carolina 28266.

Now available for purchase at The Market at Cotton Hills Farm is Watson Farms grass-fed beef. Watson Farms is located only a few miles from Cotton Hills Farm and is family owned and operated. More information can be found about their beef and their farm by going to their website at www.watsonfarmsbeef.com.

The Market at Cotton Hills Farm will open Friday, April 17, 2009. Our own strawberries will be available for purchase; there is the option to buy the strawberries already picked or to pick them yourself in the field. Please call ahead for picking conditions. 803.581.4545
