Charlotte area Farmer's Markets

[reverbandwhiskey]

I am interested in seeing how many regular farmer's markets the city has. PLease take a moment to list any info you may have about them.

There is the Mecklenburg Regional Farmers market. It is by far the largest one in the county and is open everyday.

There are others but the another one that I will comment on is the Huntersville farmers market that is open on Saturday & Tuesdays. One distinctive feature of this particular market is that all the food has to be grown within a few miles of Huntersville. This is good for the environment and the local economy. Local produce is the best.

The farmer's market on King's is fantastic. If you haven't gone, be sure to make a trip soon. There's a fish purveyor there who sells the best Atlantic Salmon I've ever had. It's really superb. I've gotten such good food there. And cheap, too!

The green market Uptown is great as well. Vendors there carry some excellent produce and canned goods. The regional farmer's market is hit or miss for me. But they offerings are more interesting there than other farmer's markets.

Reviving an ancient thread -

I was just sent the website for "The Historic West End Market," which starts this Saturday and runs through November near Johnson Smith. It looks like they're aiming high. I plan to swing by before Panther's tailgating to see what kind of vendors and the like they get.
