Get Your Grill On at the Eno River Farmers Market’s “Thrill of the Grill” Hillsborough, NC (June 27, 2010) – The Eno River Farmers Market in  downtown Hillsborough is ready to fulfill all your holiday grilling fantasies. And we’re talking more than just great hamburgers…

 

On Saturday, July 3, the market will highlight all sorts of grill-ready, locally raised products. Of course top notch burger patties, bratwurst, and Italian sausages are a must. But get ready to be inspired by grilled sweet onions, summer squash, cherry tomatoes and more.

 

Recent high temps have kicked the market into high gear, with a ton of Summer favorites: Tomatoes, peppers, sweet corn, zucchini, and eggplant.

 

Vendors will be offering samples of their products, grilled fresh on site at the market by chef Chris McKinley of Box Carr Farms. Johnny Rogers of Rogers Cattle Company will offer customers a taste of his pasture raised, hormone and antibioticfree beef—perfect for holiday hamburgers.
