Farmer’s Markets in Moore County NC

What is a farmer’s market? Farmer’s markets are essentially a group of small farmers that get together at a designated area and sell their products. They usually begin in the spring and continue through fall. Producers are local, meaning their products must be produced within a certain radius of the market (such as 50-100 miles). A wide variety of items can be sold such as fruits, vegetables, plants, flowers, honey, meats, cheeses, eggs, jams, jellies, and baked goods.

Benefits of farmer’s markets: There are many benefits from choosing to shop your local farmer’s markets.

Health– Fresh produce that is picked at its peak ripeness and doesn’t sit in storage for weeks before consumption is more nutritious and tastes better.

Environment– Products travels shorter distances reducing impact on the environment. Foods are generally grown using methods that minimize the impact on the earth and humans such as using no or minimal pesticides and fertilizers. Animals are commonly pastured and raised without use of antibiotics and growth hormones.

Community– Get to know our local farmers and ask questions. It is easy to ask questions about your food as how it was grown and produced!
