Flat Rock Tailgate Market News - Vendor of the Month: September

Mollie LeBude
September 2009

Mollie LeBude of Forest Creek Farm and Nursery in Saluda is “Vendor of the Month” of September. Mollie grows “most anything you can put in a salad” along with potatoes, fresh and dried herbs, sweet corn, blueberries, flowers, fruits, and transplants which she sells at the Flat Rock Tailgate Market

Mollie has a BS in Environmental Science with a business minor, and an MS in Forestry (genetics of breeding for disease resistance). After she married her husband, Anthony, and while she was looking for a full-time job, she started growing veggies and taking the “extras” to market. She then found a full-time job, but was still working two days a week on her farm. Then her farm business took off and now she works full-time on the farm and part-time as a tutor and in Raymond’s Garden Center. Mollie has been a two-time champion at the National Bowed Psaltery Competition at the Down-Home Psaltery Festival in Alabama.
