About the Market
Background
The Durham Farmers' Market has established itself as a cornerstone of the local community, providing a space for farmers, artisans, and crafters to sell their goods directly to consumers. Over the years, it has become known for its wide variety of offerings, from fresh produce to handmade crafts, and its commitment to supporting local producers.
Practices
The market emphasizes the importance of local production, ensuring that all goods come from within a 70-mile radius of Durham. This not only supports the local economy but also reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods over long distances. Vendors at the market often practice sustainable farming methods, offering free-range, antibiotic-free meats, and fresh, seasonal produce.
The Rest
The Durham Farmers' Market is open every Saturday year-round, with different operating hours for the Main Season, Wednesday Market, and Winter Market. It is a family-friendly venue that hosts regular events and special activities for children. The market also accepts SNAP benefits and offers a Double Bucks program to match SNAP transactions dollar for dollar, up to $10. The market operates in all weather conditions, ensuring that the community has consistent access to local goods.
