Southern Living Says This North Carolina Farmers Market Among The Best In The South

We love fresh vegetables at our house. We do have a garden but cannot resist a good farmers market for all our veggie needs. Southern Living says this North Carolina farmers market is among the best in the south. And it is practically right in our own backyard.

Charlotte, North Carolina's Uptown Farmers Market made a very exclusive list by the publication. According to the charlotteobserver.com, Southern Living just put out their list of the 17 most fan favorite farmers markets in the south. Fans voted on things like their favorite seasonal fruits, veggies and locally made treasures.

One of the cool things about the Uptown Farmers Market is it is relatively new and was actually formed as a nonprofit back in 2020. The hope was there would be more food access and community connection in the area. You will find this award winning North Carolina farmers market in Charlotte Center City near the NASCAR Hall of Fame. Not only can you find locally grown groceries there, they also offer on site health evaluations and education in nutrition.

Now fruits and vegetables are not the only food available at this North Carolina farmers market. You can also find locally grown meats and locally sourced dairy products. Don't forget local breads, pastries and desserts. And nothing helps allergies (allegedly) like good ol locally grown and sourced honey.

The Uptown Farmers Market is expansive at 4.5 acres right there at First Baptist Church in Charlotte. It is open every Saturday through December from 8 a.m. til 12:30p.m. To learn more about the 17 best farmers markets in the South, go straight to the source Southern Living right here.
