If you want to know where your food is coming from and who’s growing it, or if you’re looking for a variety of specific heirloom vegetables, there’s no better market in our area than this one, which maintains a mix of growers (half organic) and bakers. Family members must be on hand to sell the goods, and this year, a coffee station has been added. But be there by 7:15am; the most desirable items sell out by 7:30am.
Matthews Community Farmers’ Market, N. Trade Street. 704-821-6430.
