The Durham Farmers' Market is a producer-only farmer's market located in Durham, North Carolina, established in 1998.[1]

As part of the Market's emphasis on locally produced produce, crafts and flowers, items sold by the Market's more than 50 vendors are restricted to traveling no more than {{convert|70|mi|km|1}} on its journey to Durham. The Market is open year-round on Saturday mornings, and Wednesday afternoons from April to November.

Impact

The Market's founding in 1998 marks the beginning of a renaissance of downtown Durham, including the founding of Durham Central Park (2001), American Tobacco Campus (2004) and West Village (2000), as well as the opening of a number of highly regarded restaurants with an emphasis on locally sourced produce, that resulted in Durham being named "America's Foodiest Small Town" by Bon Appétit in 2008.[2] Since moving to its current location, the Market has become a weekend fixture for Durham residents, drawing thousands to downtown Durham every Saturday morning in the summer;[3] so much so that, as of July 18, 2009, it was ranked as one of the top three farmer's markets in the U.S., according to Care2's "Love Your Famers Market" contest.[4]

Location

From its founding, until 2004, the Durham Farmers' Market was held every Saturday in the gravel parking lot of the Durham Athletic Park; in mid-2004, the Market moved to the paved parking lot of Measurement Incorporated's headquarters building. Beginning in 2007, the Farmers' Market found a permanent home under the Pavilion at Durham Central Park.[1]
