Welcome!

On the weekend of September 3rd, Wifely Kate, sis-in-law Emily, and I visited the Durham Farmers’ Market in North Carolina. According to its website, Durham Farmers’ Market is an all-local, producer-only market with 64 vendors. It’s held in the Pavilion at Durham Central Park (501 Foster Street), Saturdays (8am – noon) and Wednesdays (3:30 – 6:30pm), rain or shine.

Part of the Pavilion

We were very impressed by the market’s park location, with its inviting lawns and protective pavilion. The location gave the sense that Durham values its local farmers and food. I really wish Fort Worth’s wonderful Cowtown Farmers Market could get a nicer spot.

Starlite String Band

The Starlite String Band gave the Durham Farmers’ Market some soundtrack. The Missoula farmers markets had musicians, too. Music really adds to the experience, I think; hearing it is one of my favorite parts of going to farmers markets.

In my experience, farmers markets are fun, positive places. Wifely and I’ll continue to visit them when we travel. Thanks again to Emily for hosting us in North Carolina!
