Durham Farmers' Market
Durham Farmers' Market is a marketplace in North Carolina where farmers and artisans gather weekly to sell their goods. The venue offers produce, meats, eggs, baked goods, honey, and handcrafted items such as jewelry, pottery, and artwork from vendors operating within roughly 70 miles of the city.
The market has been part of the community for many years, established to give local farmers and artisans a direct sales channel. This structure has proven effective in supporting small operations and keeping money flowing within the city.
The market's name reflects its core purpose: a gathering where local farmers sell directly to their neighbors. Visitors can see how the community values direct connections between producers and buyers, making each shopping trip a social interaction rather than a simple transaction.
The market operates on Saturdays year-round and also on Wednesdays from April to October. Visitors should bring bags and cash, though some vendors may accept cards.
The market accepts food assistance benefits and doubles the value of SNAP, WIC, and Senior vouchers for eligible shoppers. It also runs a Sprouts Club program that teaches children about gardening, cooking, and composting through hands-on activities.
