This is my favorite market in Charlotte. Get there early on Saturdays for artisan cheeses, fresh bread, local meat and of course produce for days.
Flowers are the real "get" here- gorgeous and gigantic bouquets that are always fairly priced.
Also, a craft barn and plant building if that is your speed.
I go for the best chicken, beef and fish in the area. Nothing beats local and fresh.
Truly a place to make lasting relationships with local farmers.
Also, empanadas and fresh pasta are not to be missed.
Some produce vendors in the covered barn are not local but these are easy to spot - if that matters to you. Tons of parking and worth the trip.
