Raleigh Farmers Market is Great in Winter, Wait Until Spring Gets Here.
I headed over to the Raleigh Farmers Market on Friday to see what was going on. There are two sections an indoor area and a covered area where the farmers etc back their trucks up and you buy your produce. Despite being the middle of winter and cold by Raleigh standards, there was a good selection of produce to be had. I bought a two pound bucket of tomatoes from Johnston County NC for $2.00!!!
How did I get tomatoes in January from Johnston County at the Raleigh Farmers Market for Pete's sake? Hydroponic and green house and let me tell you they are great. They are grown by Barham Farms who have a unique facility that recycles everything and produces wonderful produce. You can't beat the price and locally grown and January. I bought some kale as well and made Colcannon, a traditional Irish dish with onions and mashed potatoes, it was so good.
This stall had sweet potatoes, kale,turnips,spagetti squash, actually all kinds of squash. It is owned by L and G farms out of Meadow, NC.
The Raleigh Farmers Market has an indoor area with many stalls and vendors where you can buy, jams and relish, wines and molasses. You will also find organic beef, free range eggs, farm raised pork, goat cheese, rabbits. I like to ask where everything is from and if it's local!

Hi Dave -- Two pounds for Two Bucks? In the middle of the winter? Do they ship?? LOL
Barbara, I don't believe they do, how much could you get for them in Connecticut? Maybe I'll do something on the side.
