Only Local. Great Organizers. Wonderful Volunteers. Superb Vendors. All in the most wonderful little town in the entire NC Piedmont. We love the Davidson Market, Davidson College, all of the other local businesses and the many special events the town hosts!

I can ride my bike to it, let the kids play at the "tot lot", grab a cuppa joe at Summit (the local coffee shop), hear talented local musicians while perusing the produce, baked goods, and other offerings, and often end the morning checking out a festival or other event across the street at the green. A quick detour on the bike through the college campus as we leave tops off the day. It's friendly, local, "one-stop" shopping and entertainment!

my husband is a private club manager and qualified chef and he knows the value of eating fresh for the best nutrients and flavor. we shop the market weekly and enjoy the towns business's that open for us. we have made new friends with the vendors and exchange cooking and prep ideas and learn what they do to ready for market. davidson should be proud of the market and continue to back this concept.

The Davidson Farmers Market is so much more than fruits and vegetables. I take the kids and spend the whole morning: we listen to terrific local musicians, enjoy coffee and snow cones, and say hi to friends. We love the chance to buy local meat and dairy products also. The Davidson Farmers Market is not just a destination, it's an adventure!

Davidson has great farmers market because all the items are totally local, home grown, with a huge selection or organically grown produce and meats. Having the meats is a huge plus. You can put a completely organic and local meal on your table with fresh flowers on the table to boot! (even dessert!) The community is in total support of the market and its in the center of town.
