Here is our listing of farmers markets in the Charlotte area. Know of one we can add? Fill us in!

Because of our current situation, some of the markets’ hours have changed, and some openings were delayed. For every market that we’ve listed, we’ve indicated if it’s currently open, and, if not, when it will be. If we couldn’t find any current information, we did not include it in the list, but we can add it in as we receive information.

All of the farmers markets that are open have made safety changes. Go to their websites, which are all listed below, and read about the changes they’ve made.

Also, although this information is verified, plans can change. So make sure to follow the link for the farmers market before you go and make sure that there haven’t been changes.

The Bulb Mobile Market’s goal is to bring mostly local produce to food-insecure neighborhoods. Markets are referral or donation based. Neighbors choose how much they can afford per item. If proof of zero income or 50% of the area median income is provided, items and services are for free. The markets above are the ones currently scheduled, but make sure to follow the above link, as more might be added, and schedule changes might occur. Call 980-224-3972 for a quick assessment and for guidelines for the pick-up locations. The assessment is to help with future grant applications, as all the markets are made possible through grants or sponsorships. If you haven’t filled out an assessment before arriving you can do it there. Everyone is welcome to shop at these markets, however. There’s a suggested $5 donation per family, but nobody is turned away.
