Small, local, fresh - what more could you ask for? The farmer's market in downtown Matthews is open on Saturday mornings (Tuesday nights during the summer as well) and gets quite the crowd.
Bring your cash though, because they have everything you need to make a delicious, fresh from the garden meal. And to top it off, if you don't know what you make? They have live cooking classes/shows going on most of the morning.
One thing to look for is the fresh meat/sausage. We have recently added it to our Italian nights with great success!
