Greensboro Farmers Curb Market — Local services in Greensboro

Going to the Greensboro Farmer’s Market on Yanceyville on Saturday’s is one of the week’s highlights. It is a bazaar of visuals with aromas of foods and spices and a vegetable lover’s haven of produce year round. Into fresh kale? You can find fresh kale with varieties like the familiar curly/ Scotch kale or flat leaf, Russian Kale, Russian Red, Winterbor and probably some others I missed. These grow all winter. Greenhouse grown tomatoes and colorful sweet peppers are there all winter long along with turnips and collards and kohlrabi, daikon and many other winter vegetables. Bakers are prolific and scrumptious with lots of samples, European, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, gluten free and vegan breads and patisseries and foccacia, along with regional varieties, freshly made. Locally raised, range farmed, hormone and antibiotic free eggs, poultry, beef, pork, lamb and rabbit and handcrafted soaps, salves, lotions are abundant. And a special bonus for those with EBT food assistance, the organizers have a generous program funded by local businesses that give you $2.00 for every $1.00 of assistance, only to be used at that local market, enabling healthier eating for a healthier community.

How could I get my money back? Because a Peony bush is awfully well known for being difficult to transplant! So this is something to keep in mind about plants you buy from a place like that. I get it that people have to make a living wherever you go. BUT this just seems like a rip-off to me. I didn't buy anything. AND I went to the bigger better Farmer's...

Walking into the hustle and bustle of this small but busy farmer’s market reminded me of my visits to New York City! It was fast paced and full of vendors. The little space was filled to the brim with so many types of fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, beautiful floral arrangements, candles and the list goes on. The exchanging of money, veggies being put on and taken off of a scale and moving on to the next vendor was full of the lively buzz of early morning consumers and it was quite invigorating for such a rainy, gray August morning. I had two of three of my daughters with me and we all enjoyed our short but successful trip. The information hub was also a great resource for the types of vendors and what types of things they...
