Carrboro Farmers' Market is one of the best in the Triangle. Having the peace of mind that the produce is organic and the person who's selling is actually the farmer is priceless.

I grew up in Chapel Hill and now live in San Francisco. Every time we come home to visit, I'm amazed at how sophisticated the market has become. Whey fed pork? No way!

In addition to the joy of choosing weekly---even in winter--- from the best selection of fresh grower-sold food, you end up running into your neighbors and catching up with their lives. You get to visit with the farmers who grow your food, and support them directly. Nothing like it! I'm a fan.

Whenever I visit Chapel Hill or Carrboro I stop by the Carrboro Farmers'Market. They have a good selection of items, prices are reasonable and the people are friendly. And, if I'm short on cash I can use a debit card.

I'm a UNC student and help out with a lot of the programs held at the Farmers' Market. They have a food donation program to help feed hungry people that's made a big impact in the community. A lot of students are working to support the Market because we love our farmers and local food!

I love the mix of arts and food -- and the fact that it is big enough for variety, but not too big or overwhelming. I love walking through the whole thing once, considering all the options, and then going back once more to make my purchases.

The Market brings together top-notch local growers and producers and local customers who want the best in organic and locally grown items. It has become a regularly community event for its patrons. The Market brings people to Carrboro who may not come for any other reason. The Town of Carrboro prominently supports the Market and designed the market shelters specifically for the Market. The Market is one of the crown jewels that make Carrboro so special.

They are so very nice and awesome ,informative and just a great place to be and visit!! I've lived in several states and am also ,myself, an organic gardener and trying to once again start my own small business. But with health issues, I'm having to buy organic foods that I am unforunately, unable to grow for myself at this time. Keep up the great work and I hope to join in with you all next year! Take care and love to all of you wonderful folks. We love you all, R&R

I've been to many farmer's markets over the past 45 years, and Carrboro is my favorite. There is a wide diversity of local sustainable products available from fruits and vegetables to flowers, plants, pork, beef, eggs, etc. The famers and the shoppers know eachother and support and appreciate eachother. The market also organizes great events such as the mid-summer tomato tasting. I think there were 28 different varieties of tomato and you really discover the differences between their taste, texture, smell, etc. when you get to taste them side by side. It's a great market!!

I cook and eat almost exclusively from the CFM. After filling my bags every Saturday, I walk down to Johnny's and get a hot French crepe and plan how to cook from the broad selection of venturous veggies and meats that the farmers have brought in this week.

Because so many of my friends who are farmers sell their stuff there! It's a great place to buy local fruit, veggies, meats, flowers, baked goods.... everything but the kitchen sink... and all LOCAL - none of this "trucked in from out of state but sold by a local person" stuff, these are all people who live, work, and play in my community so I feel proud to support them by purchasing the fruit of their labors. The Carrboro FM is also a great place to run into friends. I can't go there without running into someone I haven't seen in a while and having a little chat, not to mention the folks I see every week. I love going for the sense of community as much as for the diverse products!

The market only allows local regional farmers, and the quality of produce, meat, and flowers is always excellent. We have met many of the farmers on the local farm tour, which also makes this market more personal. The market always has a great family, friendly vibe.

The Market is my calendar and I tell time by the changing foods reflecting the changing seasons. I always see someone I know to chat with, but it's the chats with strangers that really make my morning. We trade recipes and how-tos and where-can-i-find-that? Community, community, community.

I love the fact that I'm buying my food locally, and in doing so I'm supporting the local farming community. Not to mention what these farmers are bringing to the market is top notch. They are awesome people to deal with, and can't remember a time where they didn't have a smile on their face when they thanked me for my purchase. This is by far the best market I've ever been to.
