It's cheap...it's local...it's fresh! I love farmers' markets in general, but the Charlotte Farmer's Market is really special. I've been every time with a die-hard gardener, so we spend much of our visits rifling through the green house. There's enough to do just in the green house, but don't stop there.
Even though I find myself getting up early and driving way, way, way across town to get there, this place is worth it. If you partake in flesh...bwahahaha! (That's my Halloween laugh)...the butcher is fantastically nasty-looking to my vegetarian eyes, which probably means good things for you. There are tons of cheeses and pastries as well, which breaks up the monotony of shopping for just ears of corn and peppers and such.
I always come home with bags and bags, and I never have buyer's remorse. Get up early! Go see for yourself!
