Watauga County Farmers' Market

Selections at Cheryl Piracci's Bella Rooster range from gourmet foods to handmade decorations to live plants. Cheryl specializes in Italian cuisine, so be sure to look for her sun-dried tomatoes, biscotti and chocolate-zucchini cake.

Cheryl makes many jams and jellies, along with pectin-free preserves.This traditional method of cooking down the preserves allows for less sugar in the recipe.

For low-calorie flavor combined with a visual treat, try herb vinegar in hand-painted vinegar bottles. Cheryl will take orders for hand painted bottles and any other items, especially for the holidays, and will also ship your order.

Also at Cheryl's booth are many handmade crafts, such as bark baskets from Tulip Poplar trees and mosaic flower pots made from crockery. She also brings garden plants and herbs, and will install custom landscaping.
