Today would be a great day to head to the DOWNTOWN FARM MARKET! The market is a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) market where you can get food that is not only grown locally but also is good for you. The foods come from eco-friendly farms in North Carolina. This CSA market is located at 505 North Greene Street, between the Marriott Hotel and the First Presbyterian Church. On Saturday's, it is open from 8:00am - 5:00 pm. We were there the day Tracey from nearby Riva's Trattoria took a group of Girl Scouts to the market so that they could purchase the food for a meal she would teach them to prepare for themselves. All kinds of new aromas and all of the visual appeal made shopping there an interesting adventure for the scouts.
If you are trying to make more healthy food choices, stop by and talk to the people working at the market. If you can't find what you are looking for, you can always head over to the Yanceyville Farmers' Market or the one on Sandy Ridge Road.
CSA is a good idea.
I missing seeing trucks like this one.
