Pittsboro Farmers’ Market: A Hidden Treasure

My kids look forward to every Thursday, every week.

They get to see many of their community friends adults and kids alike, meet new friends, play outside, build toy farms, ride bikes, play tag, eat treats, draw with chalk, visit with local farmers, have good conversations. For three hours every week they get to be kids and they love it.

The Pittsboro Farmers’ Market has become a treasured part of our beautiful community where kids and adults can gather as the week ends to chill, talk, shop, and unwind. It’s friendly atmosphere has drawn folks to take part in this weekly community event.

Small but growing, Pittsboro Farmers’ Market has an outstanding group of farmers that come out weekly to share the fruits of their labor. With a great variety of locally raised and produced products there is something for everyone not matter what age or gender.

Granite Springs Farm offers an amazing variety of vegetables through the seasons. Red Roots Farm bringing shiitake mushrooms, green garlic, baby bok choy, and kohlrabi, for starters. Celebrity Dairy Farm offers goat cheeses of all sorts, gelato, fudge, and soaps all from the milk produced off their farm in Siler City.
