South Durham Farmers' Market Grand Opening
 
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
Durham, NC – The South Durham Farmers' Market invites you and yours to “cultivate community” with us, at our Grand Opening on Saturday, September 8th, from 8AM-12PM, in the Greenwood Commons Shopping Plaza (5410 NC Hwy 55, at Sedwick Rd, Durham, NC 27713) 
 
The Grand Opening will be a wonderful event for all ages. Have your picture taken on a tractor belonging to one of our own farmers, see the Parkwood Volunteer Fire Department (and their dalmatian!) with their fire truck, do fun crafts from Open Arts, play games, face painting, win produce prizes (via the NC 10 Percent Campaign!), listen to local music from Robinson Lee Earle, a demo from our friends at Rose's Meat Market & Sweet Shop and more!
 
While you’re there, get to know your local market, and expect to see local, pasture-raised beef, pork, goat, chicken and eggs. Sample artisanal breads, cheeses and baked goods. Fall is approaching, and soon we will have delicious Muscadine grapes, fall squash varieties, and other beautiful fresh produce. Try some fresh pasta, get some locally made soap, salt-fired pottery, or beeswax candles!
 
The South Durham Farmers' Market is THE local foods destination for South Durham, with over two dozen vendors, all producing within 50 miles of Greenwood Commons. Most produce within 30! We are open year-round, rain or shine, Saturdays 8AM-12PM. Looking for Durham County farmers? You’ll find them here more than any other market, with 10 of our farmers based in Durham. We’ve also used innovative approaches to create market opportunities for new farmers, who are key to the future of farming.
 
 
We strive to cultivate a food community in South Durham, and have live local musicians each week. Soon we’ll have Farmer Foodshare on hand each Saturday, to take donations of fresh produce or cash for a local non-profit, to distribute to community members in need. The Master Gardeners will often be on-hand at the end of each month to discuss home gardening and provide soil samples!
 
We hope to see you there!
