Durham Farmers' Market
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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 vendors are restricted to traveling no more than 70 miles (112.7 km) on its journey to Durham.[2]
The Market's founding in 1998 coincided with 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.[3]
