Atherton Mill and Market is an awesome place! It's the home of Not Just Coffee's second location and home to a number of local vendors including farmers, bee keepers, fish mongers, etc. Other notable vendors include Pickleville (homemade naturally-fermented pickles), Bell's Best Berries (local produce including some awesome beets and fresh eggs), and Cloister Honey (local Charlotte-made honey with some amazing infusions) just to name a few.
While Atherton has more of a farmer's market feel than 7th Street Public Market, the downside is that most of the shops aren't open during the week and the ones that are don't have full daytime hours. I can't always make it on the weekend so it's disappointing to miss out of some of these gems.
Please check out Atherton Mill and Market. Get a coffee, some veggies, check out the Microfarms stand, and while you're there, don't forget about Luna's Living Kitchen and Savory Spice Shop also located at Atherton Mill (just not inside the market).
