The above photo was taken Saturday at the Farmers Market on Yanceyville Street. The man at stall 117 was selling his yummy, late summer tomatoes. The market was busy this past Saturday, as it seems to always be on Saturday. It is also open on Wednesday mornings until 1:30.
The market has been organized as a non-profit, operated by Greensboro Farmers Market, Inc on behalf of the City of Greensboro. The board of directors has eleven members. They represent an array of careers and backgrounds; a balance of business people, community leaders, farmers and vendors. The Farmers Market has been around for a very long time; its roots date back to the late 1800's. To be sure buying locally grown food is trending in the USA. The Greensboro Farmers Market is a great place to purchase food directly from the people who grow and raise it. From honey to bacon and eggs and just about every vegetable in between, a visit to the market is well worth a visit. People like the man at stall 117 will make you glad that you did!
Buying as much as you can of local produce is ideal. It reminds me of the markets we have here.
